A viable business doesn't need tax dollars.  On the other hand there are
plenty of dumb ideas that suddenly become reasonable and even desirable
as soon as someone discovers that the taxpayer will pay for it--even if
no one else will.

As much as I'd like to think that people won't take advantage of Washington's
stupidity I know they will. The problems lie in Washington and in our state
capitals where politicians happily oblige the pigs when they oink about
needing a bigger trough.
