"Charity is no part of the legislative duty of the government."

[Rastus]

The Federal Government should stick to things it needs to do to provide a national government.  Common defense (that's being dying of "a thousand cuts" now), a common currency that isn't printed on toilet paper, roads, bridges, regulating large financial systems, etc....all things the government is being graded more and more poorly on each year.  These things that do provide a national value are contrary to what the politicians want to spend money on, i.e. things that buy votes and provide power.

So, you're claiming that you don't directly benefit from any government agency on that list?

You are either very, very ignorant, or very, very untruthful. I'm betting that it's a lot of both.

Greetings, Chuck.

An interesting first post.  You might want to stop by the New Member Intro thread in the Down Range Cafe.

If I may ask, did you intend to bet that Tom Bogan was a very Ignorant Liar?

I don't think Tom is always right, but I have found him to be anything but ignorant or a liar.  Perhaps you should review some of his posting and reconsider your evaluation?

Calling some one a liar is not a very good way to start off Chuck.
