[Mind-numbed Robot]

I am constantly amazed that we, as a country, can survive, in spite of the ineptness and ignorance of Congress, and the outright traitorous acts of the Democrat Party. (Not to mention the Rino's)

Don't forget the innate inefficiency of a large government bureaucracy. The larger the government, the more inefficient.

"Don't forget the innate inefficiency of a large government bureaucracy. The larger the government, the more inefficient."

Excellent point.

I suppose with 300,000,000 citizens, and how many more illegals [?], we aren't going to be getting a smaller, more effective government, anytime soon.

One drawback to folks living "forever" is that our representatives stay in office until they really get the handle on thieving from the other states to support themselves and their "give me more" constituants, and become so entrenched that they rarely get deposed.
