The TSA is impotent just like FEMA. Anytime the government gets involved in the private sector, it's a disaster. Private security companies missed 20% of the fake bombs.

I think it was mighty big of USA Today to print that story. Hopefully someone will do something about it before the terrorists get anymore stupid ideas. :(

And just think, the folks who miss 60 - 75 freakin' percent of a problem now want to take over the health care system in this country.

That's also scary.

The war in Iraq is a good example of the government making a mess of things. Maybe we should become some big company and have a ceo instead of a president. We would then be the United Companies of America.

That's the one I like. The re-make was just silly.

This is a prime example of what happens when the government gets involved in things: they become a nightmare. Socialized medicine will be a disaster just like it is everywhere that has it. :(

Socialized medicine will be about as good as government housing.
