I said yeah this has always been the case. If you have money left over then your budget would be slashed. I heard stories about the local welfare department when I was a social worker back in the late '70s early 80s. No wonder the practice is now on steroids with Bush outspending LBJ and refusing to tax his rich buddies.Doc Quatermasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02738976798404747212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-78437125777269636412008-04-10T14:01:00.000-05:002008-04-10T14:01:00.000-05:00That's truly depressing.That's truly depressing.mybillcriderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02350478005243505108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-18107764847186111792008-04-10T14:00:00.000-05:002008-04-10T14:00:00.000-05:00"Enjoyed," btw, isn't quite the right word for my ..."Enjoyed," btw, isn't quite the right word for my reaction to today's reports of the testimony of rape survivors at KBR facilities in Iraq...and how KBR and the military tried to keep them quiet.Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-83824147767854814532008-04-10T11:54:00.000-05:002008-04-10T11:54:00.000-05:00It's all pretty depressing.It's all pretty depressing.mybillcriderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02350478005243505108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-23827868079340518972008-04-10T11:50:00.000-05:002008-04-10T11:50:00.000-05:00And, dig how the slideshow manages to slip, say, o...And, dig how the slideshow manages to slip, say, oil company incentives in with "science" (which of course already includes too much Lockheed Martin, etc., graft).Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-88582703555352288662008-04-10T11:49:00.000-05:002008-04-10T11:49:00.000-05:00Of course, these are government employees under th...Of course, these are government employees under the Bush Admin, who simply take their cues from the political leadership...somehow, even a multi-hundred dollar dinner bill doesn't quite rate in comparison to multi-millions/billions to Halliburton/KBR, absolutely none of which finds it way back to our Veep, of course.<BR/><BR/>And the companionship...well, civil servants can get just as lonely as a governor or two. I've been told that the prostitutes in DC include some of the best-looking in the world...I refer, of course, to the actual pros, rather than the elected officials, Beltway Bandits and lobbyists, who tend less pretty.Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.com
