Don, that column by Barry really made me laugh, especially the part about Trent Lott. >>And let us not forget Sen. Trent Lott, R-Miss., a man so concerned about our naval preparedness that he demanded that the U.S. Navy be given -- for starters -- $375 million for a helicopter assault ship to be built in (surprise!) Sen. Lott's hometown. In pushing this vital naval project through, Sen. Lott had to overcome the resistance of ... well, the navy. That's right: The navy did not want this ship. Fortunately, Sen. Lott is not the kind of candypants leader to let some upstart outfit like the U.S. Navy tell him what our naval needs are.<< The urge to find creative ways to spend our money to benefit themselves is just breathtaking. Maybe old Karl Marx was right, the evolution from capitalism to socialism seems to be unstoppable.
