Merry Christmas! It's An Election Year!

You can always tell when it's election year. Suddenly every candidate is very generous with what they want to do for you if elected. Now, I agree that it is wonderful that they want to do noble deeds for all of us. It's just discouraging when they approach every problem with an open wallet -- ours! At times it's kind of like feeling compassion and happiness when the neighborhood drunk turns himself in for drug rehab. But all that quickly becomes tainted when you discover you've got to foot the bill at the expense of your family's own needs. Of course, a great politician makes sure that you don't know about the bill. What's the difference between Mafia and government? The Mafia can't pass laws to make their actions legal.
