a.k.a. The Privitization of Everything...
The most recent thing we've learned about is how soldiers-of-fortune go on killing sprees in Iraq facing no punishment.
Something we haven't heard so much about is how the I.R.S. has collection agencies getting late taxes at a rate of 20% when they could do it themselves for a rate of 3%.
Good ole George W. has just vetoed a bill that would give $35 Million in healthcare to American children. Our lovely Congress and Preznit have just approved another $190 Billion to be spent in Iraq.
The U.S. dollar is trading at the even rate to the Canadian dollar for the first time 1976.

I like how we've spent well over $350 billion dollars so far on a war that can't be won, and especially on a war that nobody wants; except George W.
Our economy continues to fall and the dollar won't be worth spit in the next 15yrs (say compared to the Euro, or possibly even the Peso?)
Think of all the thinks this country could have done with $400 plus billion dollars; a better health care system, better education, better protection of the environment, public transportation - like maglev trains or high speed bullet trains.
So much for me getting anything for my American dollar the next time I want to travel overseas.
