I thought that Social Security held this singular, dubious distinction.Timothy W Higginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17118861693269565715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21829866.post-64581671745031805232007-10-21T14:28:00.000-04:002007-10-21T14:28:00.000-04:00"government endorsed 'warm fuzzies'"that's a good ...<EM>"government endorsed 'warm fuzzies'"</EM><BR/><BR/>that's a good one!Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677808307727487766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21829866.post-5754047225556062972007-10-21T14:20:00.000-04:002007-10-21T14:20:00.000-04:00While I hate to see families in distress over medi...While I hate to see families in distress over medical bills, I am seriously opposed to this program. It <B>is</B> a road sign pointing to "I'm entitled to it. The Government said so."<BR/><BR/>And if I hear one more politician (or politically based entity!) use the term "for the children" I'm going to scream.<BR/><BR/>You want to do something "for the children"? Allocate funds to secure renewable energy. How about sustainable nature resources? Or...primary education? <BR/><BR/>Government endorsed 'warm fuzzies' are certainly wearing thin in my book.Roohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11569815196644365844noreply@blogger.com
