Let's Hope They Lie

People keep ranting for more efficiency in government and the candidates keep promising it.

Yeah right. That's the last thing we need. It is the size and muddle of the great United States bureaucracy that has managed to preserve those freedoms and liberties that are still enjoyed by the citizenry. The government keeps trying to stifle them, but it just can't get all its freedom reduction programs through the bureaucratic maze.

As Will Rogers said, quoting Mark Twain who stole it from Shakespeare who cribbed it from the Bible: "Thank God we don't get all the government that we pay for."
