<<<<This is not about making a list of what the government does
well or poorly. This is about the government exercising its
executive function. This is about the rules of the game and
what happens when you cheat.>>>>>>

I think it factors into credibility. The Government has proven themselves to be as self serving as any corporation in The U.S., regardless of public opinion. Furthermore let us not forget the same Anti-Trust suit against IBM in which millions of taxpayer money was squandered. Your so called rules of the game seem to apply to everyone except the Fed.

<<<<"Yes and we can all be happy that part of our taxes went to
prop up China's Ballistic missile program. "

What does that have to do with the price of beans? That and
your other comment about Social Security.>>>>>

These have nothing to do with the price of beans as I am sure you are well aware. I would ask you, how can we take or Government seriously on this issue (which I feel is minor) when they would sell out our safety for money?

Re"They marked the deck, loaded the dice, there are a lot of ways to put it. Face it, they screwed up and now they have to face the consequences."

WHAT PLANET ARE YOU FROM!!!!!....HEY....MSFT built the better mouse trap...anything wrong with that!!!??? ask yourself this question..

Who has better credibility? MSFT or the GOV. The answer is CLEAR.....MSFT earns their money while the government is like a little kid who spends all his money on BS and has his hand out for MORE.
and demands his way. WAKE UP!!! you are NOT living in the same USA from 15 years ago...your rights are being stripped away by the second. OR HAS ANYONE NOTICED YET!!! It is so true... we have the government we deserve. Lets here it for the minority of whiniers and criers.. they are ruling the US now. and we can thank ourselves for that.
