I just read something about why we need government. I won't post it because it was too political and I don't need that right now, but the policy comments were right on. Here's my simple policy position, government demands wasteful spending and I not only accept that, I like that. The private sector can't afford wasteful spending, Wall St. would never accept it. Whether it is the waste we have in military spending on weapons will we hopefully never use, we need to be prepared. Whether it is a teacher wasting their time and effort on a child whose parents don't care enough or can't afford to feed their child so that the child can learn, we need to be prepared. Whether it is disaster preparedness for a storm which will hopefully never hit, we need to be prepared. Whether it is all of the waste of the police or firefighters who aren't acting because a crime or emergency doesn't need to be responded to, we need to be prepared. Today we see this in its rawest form and we are reminded. It is sad that we needed to be reminded.
