Here is yet another example of the problems with massive government and the total lack of freedom such a government creates. The obviously biased headline screams, "Funds helping emotionally disturbed children cut by $6 million." As usual, that's simply not true.

Instead, the NC Legislature increased spending in this area by $80 million. That's correct, 80 million more dollars that the people of North Carolina have to work and produce will be taken by the state to be spent on drug addicts, the disabled, and "mental health." But even though people will have to work harder and work more so they can get this $80 million INCREASE, those bureaucrats who are part of the system are screaming and yelling that they're actually getting LESS.

I don't know how the author can actually write these lines without feeling like a total idiot (emphasis mine):

Programs ... that were supposed to get $30.5 million will now get $24.5 million. Groups across the state that use the funds are working to trim budgets, weeks after the Legislature approved the largest increase for mental health since 2001.

After screaming and yelling and getting the anti-freedom biased press to print this report that's supposed to tug at your heartstrings and make you feel sorry for these poor "emotionally disturbed children;" the story then reports, "services will not be reduced because of the funding cut, said Leza Wainwright."

In other words, they're whining and complaining that an increase of $80 million is a cut and it's the end of the world, but they're not actually reducing any services. Are there really people that are stupid enough to believe these morons any more?

This is like me not owing you any money, then giving you a gift of $20, then you complaining that you can't buy anything with the $20 because it's not enough and I'm cheap, but they you go and buy exactly what you wanted. What a horrible pile of crap. But yes, there's MORE.

In addition, "State officials have tried to reduce local administrative costs for two years by using Medicaid dollars." In other words, they can claim they've reduced costs if they simply take tax money from somewhere else! You know, I could reduce my car payments if I rob a bank using that logic.

Big, Democrat-run liberal/socialist government really, really sucks. It's total misuse and abuse like this that helps me cement my position. Since liberals always want to "compromise," my position is zero funding for any government "health" agency. Now let's compromise.

Anyone involved with this agency or that has anything to do with the funding for it should be ashamed of themselves for being so wasteful with money that's not even theirs. But today the concept of shame is missing from society. So is being responsible with your own money, much less someone else's that you take by force.

Oh, how I yearn for freedom.
