Z, I'll just respond to one of your comments: > Besides, the government has many, many departments for a reason. Huge bureaucracies are wasteful. Throwing more money at said bureaucracies will only succeed in feeding the beast. The deficit is projected to be $1.8 trillion. That means over 50% of Obama's $3.55 trillion budget consists of spending money we don't have. And the Baby Boomers haven't even started drawing their Social Security checks yet. Everyone but the government is tightening his or her belt. I understand that you believe in the power of the collective, but even The One can't walk on water, which is why priorities have to be set.
