Can someone please explain why we're sending Billions of dollars to these people? Clearly they're not struggling. If these people truly needed money, they'd be trying to work, working for food, or at least sitting on a freeway off-ramp with the old "Will do nothing for food" sign.

But no, we'll continue trying to buy their votes with billions of *MY* money. This shows, yet again, that government is utterly incapable of administering any sort of charity program. And keep in mind -- it's NOT charity, love, or even helpful in any way, shape or form, when you're using someone else's money.

Oh, and just down the road from me, in Salisbury, NC, there are hundreds of trailers with giant "FEMA" signs on them. They're supposed to be free trailers for "victims" of the hurricane to live in for free. No, really, free houses to anyone who wants one -- but you see, they're in Salisbury because government (that's who owns them) has a rule that says they cannot put mobile homes in "flood-prone" areas.

So that enormous pile of government cash will sit here, doing nothing but rusting away... until, of course, the North Carolina government finds out about it -- you see, there's laws against "unsightly" rusting mobile homes in this state. When the state finds them, if they're rusty, the state can fine the owners and tow them away to the junkyard.

Is there anything that government can actually do right? I really don't think so. I'm not an anarchist, but if I need to be to get "compromise" and meet where the Constitutional Republic exists, I'm all for it. Remember this when you're looking at your paycheck and listening to Congressmen saying they can't cut taxes because they can't afford it.
