Wait a minute, Michael!!! One of the biggest stories I heard last week was about waste in the military. Not only that, but two ships have gone totally missing!!! I agree with you that waste is terrible wherever it happens in government. But I am not clear about why you usually mention Medicare when you discuss the subject. Do you support Medicare? Do you feel it is the most wasteful government program?

Personally, I become mind numb, to use your phrase, whenever someone tells me what a new bomber costs. I wonder what percentage of that figure is really waste, though?

I don't know anything about the evil regime that took over Vietnam when we left, or how many people were killed. Certainly, though, I think it was very good that we stopped killing people there.
