Typical Government Waste

This one crosses democratic and republican administrations:

The financial costs to the U.S. military for discharging and replacing gay service members under the nation’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy are nearly twice what the government estimated last year, with taxpayers covering at least $364 million in associated funds over the policy’s first decade, according to a University of California report scheduled for release today.

Its a stupid, wasteful policy. But then that’s what governments do.

The dems Dig Their Own Grave

It would be great if these responses to Hackett’s announcement from Ohio are but the start of a tidal wave.
The only thing better for the US than the dissolution of the political parties would be the dissolution of the federal governement. As long as we are burdened by it we might as well move ahead to a time when our congressional critters represent the people who elect them and not a state party clique or crooked national level fund raisers.

Independent or not at all!
