 Dear Mencken,

   Congrats! You are more correct than even you probably believe.

   Your "compalint" is just one of the many examples of why I continue to SUGGEST that we start making budget cuts by reducing the entire congressional deligation by half...There are billions to be had in the pork savings, alone, not to mention the wasted salaries for a corrupt and stupid gang of (s)elected criminals and traitors. It's probably impossible to conjure the grand total of money that would be saved on illegal travel expenses, wasted staf salaries, postage, phony campaign payouts and "matching" funds, and paid "vactions". The aftermath is a certain unknown: However, the hush money and payola that presidents, staffers, and ex-this or -that's receive after sneaking out of DC, in the form of book deals, chairmanships, company management and director positions, university professorships, and the most ludicrous and totally wasted "speaker" fees - all of which utimately cost taxpayers a great deal of money - are in the realm of the supernatural.

   There are worthwhile "cows", but most are relatively inexpensive and actually serve some social or economic purpose; they also offer little opportunity for payoffs or payouts, during or after a term or two in office.

    There would be absolutely no contrived "budget crises", if our (s)elected politicos simply quit giving away the wealth of the nation to our foreign enemies, pious private companies and contractors, the 'federal" reserve bank(s), and all their other "friends". (How many of the sane amongst us would give away financial control of their "income" and cummulative produced goods and services; unfettered access and use of every aspect of their personal, home, and business wealth; the keys, formulas, codes, and the methodology of private, commercial, military (security) protocols and properties; and the lives of our children to protect and advance our enemy's ability to destroy us; all the while letting our own families and friends suffer and, literally, starve to death?)

   The people of the United States have been sacrificing for way to long, especially for the greater good of the second-rate, low-life elitists and criminals who make up the bulk of that most fetid and diseased of "cows": The gang of thugs who have taken over the American (U.S) government! Let them pay off "their" debt. And, let them fight "their" make-work wars. Instead of paying with U.S. blood and booty for a bunch of religious zealots to kill everyone who doesn't cowtow to their perverse view of life on earth in air conditioned comfort, let's re-build our OWN infrastructure, start educating our kids, feed our starving populations, provide some real jobs in Detroit, quit trying to force and charge kids to ride to school on buses that should never have "existed" in the first place, provide actual food in free school lunches, make driver's education and effective physical education mandatory, make reasonable healthcare available, and get off the backs of the people to whom this country belongs!

   There is nothing wrong with helping those amongst us who actually need it: It's a worthwhile, functional, and lofty concept. It's who we pretend we are and really ought to be as a society. What has been and is being done is as contemptible and depraved as the "people" who have been and ARE responsible.

    As right as you are, Mr. Mencken, I doubt anything is likely to change for the better. The complicity of those who "work" in government, education, and media, not to mention mom and dad or grandma and grandpa, in support of THEIR sacred cow - the freak show that they vote for every two to six years (Washington) has become second-nature and pretty much achieved its goal of psycho/social [economic] subjugation of the mass of the population of the U.S. We have, indeed, lived to see the take-over of the United States by the long-forgotten ENEMY WITHIN!

    Someone once told me that a cynic was someone who is always right but seldom get any pleasure from it. I don't consider myself a cynic. But, I'm certainly not enjoying any of this.
