Scumbria,
RE:"Government = schools, police, roads, military, environmental protection, etc...
It is amazing how the right wing has corrupted the brains of so many."

Are you capable of a note without taking a pot shot?

governemnt= waste, overspending and non accountability.

I'm certainly for good schools, police, roads, military and environmental protection but I've seen enough waste to not be as trusting as you are. Government employees tend get too comfortable and spend a lot of time walling themselves in. The viability of many programs need evaluation on a regular basis.
Take the school system for example. Proof that simply throwing money at something doesn't always work. You can send your kid to private school here for less than half what the public schoolboard spends per student. I don't agree with GW on everything but I do agree on testing...
Not sure I agree on vouchers but it's obvious the public schools have failed miserably so maybe vouchers will give them a wake up call.
