Smart People who run this country!

I just got a letter in the mail from the U.S. Census Bureautelling me that I will be recieving another letter from them in a couple weeks with the census inside. They said its important for everyone to fill out because it helps the govt allocate money where its needed...The ONLY thing I could think after reading it was...How much money did the govt just waste by sending out a pre-census letter to everyone telling them that they will be getting a census letter? I might not be the smartest guy ever but wow....

I was telling Angus the other day that when I was in the military, they had "Call the FWA hotline if you see government fraud, waste, or abuse" poster on every bulletin board.

The big joke there is obvious. The Government is the biggest example of fraud, waste, and abuse. Gonna turn yourself into yourself? lol

I would not doubt if the government spends an average of 1000x more overall than they have to overall for everything they do. Really, it is beyond repair. The only solution is to start over. It's just out of control.

I agree... I am still preturbed by the(expense of the)TV adds that are so un-informative... Just answer the damned census ...! It is your option to answer about income...
