Not All Savings Is Good Savings

"Please stop using the spelling "gub'mint". It's not funny." - Enough


Nor is it 'funny' that our elected leaders continue to ignore the plain wording of the Constitution which they routinely swear to uphold and then repeatedly violate for the purposes of securing re-election or to repward cronies and supporters with our taxdollars.

Offhand I can think of only one member that deserves a proper title of respect in Washington, the Honorable Ron Paul.

There may be others who come close. Most are nothing but crass opportunists at our expense, and the expense of our children and grandchildren, who deserve a label much worse than "gub'mint" for their behavior as our "leaders".

When those who govern from Washington start adhering to the limits that the Constitution imposes on them they will deserve honor and respect. Until that time I will continue to apply a label which, perhaps to some, grants them a measure of respect they do not deserve. gub'mint.

I am sorry if there are readers out there whose sense of political correctness finds this repulsive, but as far as I know this is still a (supposedly) free country where I am allowed to express my opinion. I do not ask that you agree with me or even find my opinions pleasant. You are free to express your own opinions to the contrary, whether I agree with them or not.

I only hope that you yourself still believe that I am entitled to do likewise.
