Your Tax Dollars At Work

Listening to Rush yesterday it suddenly came to me: we have failed two whole generations of Americans when it comes to opportunities and education. And paid dearly for it, too. But Dummycrats can't quite see it that way. They see it as a requirement for more "investment" (socialist code word for raping your wallet.)

Rush was having a conversation with a guy named James who worked at a Head Start program in the Bronx and proceeded to tell Rush their programs teach parents to read and also advise parents and kids on spouse/family abuse.

Like Rush and myself, by now you must be asking, "why is Head Start TEACHING parents to read? Wasn't that the role that Head Start, pre-K, Kindergarten, grammar school and high school should have played in their life as that person was growing up?"

By virtue of Head Start doing this for parents now isn't that an admission of failure for the WHOLE system of welfare AND education as we know it? Here we have dozens of federal, state, county, and local programs (not to mention church and charitable groups): Head Start, AFDC, food stamps, WIC, welfare, earned income credits, work-fare, state paid child care, free lunch, free training, free breakfast, Internet hookups in classrooms with each one overlapping the other in programs and responsibility. The end result? A full circle right back to the beginning. Except now we have Head Start to teach parents how to read!!!!!

And don't we already have tax-payer funded programs that advise on abuse? Why so much overlap? Just how much have we gotten as it relates to results for all these programs? Obviously, not a whole lot, in my eyes. No Sirree!

If you listen to the Dummycrats you will find them still insisting we further fund these programs and demanding we create even more. Why? Because they DO increase the level of bureaucracy and the numbers of government workers. As for the kids I guess their attitude is, "FUCK 'EM!! I got my job and now let's see how many more people I can drag into this so we can hire even more workers and get more funding."

Dummycrats know that if you increase the numbers of people standing around with their hands out asking for more, the core group of voters the Dummycrats are constantly trolling around for, you will increase your chances of getting elected. Result? A larger class of people considered dependent. A larger class of Victicrats.

OH! Let's not forget. According to the Dummycrats, we still have hungry/starving children. When was the last time you read that ANYBODY died in the US due to hunger????????????? (other than self-inflicted through bulimia or adults purposely starving kids) And if you did hear or one or two is that really any cause for the hysterics of the Dummycrats saying millions are hungry? Truth be told, our kids are fatter than they ever were. Could be they are getting too many free breakfasts and lunches.

Anyway, the total so far for all these educational and social programs: over 5 TRILLION dollars!!!!

So to recap, what do we have for that "investment"? Head Start programs that teach parents and kids about domestic violence!!!!! Entire programs that are abject failures in that after years and years people still can't read and are taught that their only salvation is another government program or handout. We have created a society of dependency in this country that sickens me. Maybe it is time we CUT all these programs and let these people figure out how to grab their own bootstraps and make something of themselves. If nothing else, by cutting these programs and giving the money back to the taxpayer (notice I said TAXPAYER, not the poor or those who pay NO taxes already!) we'd have more money donated to charitable organizations such as churches and local groups who used to do this sort of thing in the past before Mommy Government usurped that role.) I firmly believe the results would be much better.

Check out the transcript of a conversation Rush had with James.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere
