As a 50 year Republican and a long time resident of the Washington, DC area, I agree wholeheartedly with Miller.
Lottery? The producers have been supporting the underclass for decades. The underclass is the primary buyer of lotteries. It's simply payback.
As currently configured, Head Start is basically a baby-sitting program, and an expensive one at that. Of course it should be changed. If we are going to have a Head Start program to make up for parents who won't "teach" their youngsters, why should we pay bureaucrats to just continue the process?
As for moving some of the bureaucrats out of Washington, have you ever tried to drive around D.C.? Should we keep pumping tax dollars to pave over a lot of Maryland and Virginia? Or should we spread it out across the country? Don't forget, for every government employee in D.C., there are a number of others employed - lobbyists, suppliers, etc.. Spread it out!
Zell Miller is right. And I wish some of our Republican brothers would listen to him.
