Does that mean that The Government is going to issue all of us our own personal Tony Rezkos?
"Obama gonna get me a Tony Rezko!"
**snicker**
National security also became the excuse for the national government to get its nose into education-remember sputnik scared everyone into expanding government in the direction of education.
There is a long list of individuals who were of help to me, too. But claiming that an intrusive government is responsible for an individual's success is offensive beyond believe.
This country is (or was) great beyond any imagination and beyond any example in the history of the world only because of the experiment in self government, limited government, personal freedom was tried for the first time. Only because of this, did the human race all of a sudden begin to make incredible progress and move beyond subsistence farming. If not for the American experiment, we would each still be trying to gather enough food from basic farming to avoid daily starvation just like humans had done for thousands of years.
