Will we have to make sacrifices like:
No universal health care?
No universal early childhood education?
No federal investment in alternative energy, like food for fuel?
No subsidized college for children of illegal aliens?
No subsidies to “affordable housing activists”?
No subsidies to Chicago universities?
No preservation of lighthouses, museums on Woodstocks, no pork to every da#n congressman to fuel his re-election machine?
Once we as the body politic have made those sacrifices, come back and talk to me about the sacrifices you want me to make personally.
Wait a second. Some of the lighthouses actually fulfill a needed function. Plus, they are pretty to look at and do keep lighthouse keepers employed.
Obama’s estimated and much talked about 3.5 billion dollars National Service Place on his agenda.
