And my point about LEO and military was simply that they give value for their public service and I'll defend that statement to the death. If there is to be any federal benefit for them, GI Bill, pay raises, or loan forgiveness after 10 years, then that is spending I can support. Not benefits for the under assistant deputy for mouse trap grants. Consider too that the 10 year service requirement prolly means that there is a retention goal. And again, that is important for the military. Chances are that's the bone that was thrown to the pubbies. I didn't thank GWB for that but it is a part of the bill that has some actual purpose to it.
Lord knows I screw up enough on my own. But please don't misquote me again or you will find your post for sale on eBay. Will you be twice the man as Harry and apologise? (Or thirce the lady as Nancy if appropriate).
Geez try decaf. Don’t be such a cry baby. The quotes can be omitted, but the Statist apologies implicit in your post would still be a problem.
