I might be inclined to agree with you there, knife. Government spending is way up, and while most of it is going towards the military, which I don't mind, there's lots of room for some congressmen to tack on their own spending measures to completly unrelated spending bills and get them approved without objection. It might be happening under everyone's noses. And then you have the Patriot Act and the controversy it's stirring up. Government programs and spending are obviously necessary, but everything in moderation people. I've said it for years, we need fewer laws, not more. The U.S. Code could stand to loose a few thousand pages, especially where it concerns income taxes. Before making new laws, the fat needs to be trimmed from the lean.
