Why Government Stinks

Well, okay, there's hundreds of reasons I could put here, couldn't I? But this one I was railing against from the start. Federal investigators are now reporting over $2,000,000,000.00 (that's two billion) in government WASTE over Hurricane Katrina. In case you're not aware of how government works, that was two BILLION dollars of taxpayer money that was wasted. That was two BILLION dollars that could have been kept by the people who earned it.

In case you missed my various posts during that natural (not Bush-made) disaster, government should NEVER have gotten involved. Government is absolutely, completely, totally incapable of being compassionate -- it's not possible because it's not their money. The ONLY way government can give away money is for them first to take it, by force, from people who work for it.

That's wrong, plain and simple. I don't care how many people vote for it -- it's still wrong. If 51% today voted to make all black people slaves, would that be right because the majority wanted it? No. There is an absolute right and wrong, and government charity is completely wrong -- every time. And the utter incomprehensible amount of waste is only part of it.

1 Personally, I am tired of hearing about Katrina. What about the devastation just a few weeks later from Hurricane Rita? As a survivor of Rita I know that from my house alone I can still see FEMA trailers, blue tarps & ruined buildings, probably never to be replaced either from lack of insurance, insurance $ not enough or apathy. This place was a nice looking area 20 years ago when I moved here. Now it looks like a bomb went off & no-body cares to fix it up especially along the hi-ways.It makes me sad.Where is our gov. $ help?

2 Unfortunately, you will continue to hear about Katrina because the press, who gets to decide what to print, LOVES Katrina because they can use it to claim Bush made mistakes.

Me, I don't think the federal government should have given one dime to New Orleans -- with the exception of money to pay for rebuilding some federal buildings and roads. Everyone else should be on their own.

4 We should let free people do things that they can -- government should only do the things that free people cannot -- just like is outlined in the Constitution.
