Snapped Shot

Always Watching the All-Seeing Eye

 

Finally!

A Federal financial outlay that the Press is going on record as hating. Can you guess which Federal agency is receiving the brunt of their anger?

Is it Agriculture, the ever-present symbol of the everyday Farmer? Or maybe it's NIH, and their endless search for the Cure. Surely the President's oft-maligned Kennedy Education Program is targeted for extra scorn?

Not. Even. Warm. Check it:

A one dollar chrome printing plate. US President George W. Bush submitted a 2.9 trillion-dollar government budget request for the next fiscal year to Congress, including tens of billions of dollars for military operations in Iraq.(AFP/File/Shawn Thew)


Of course, never let me insinuate that our government is bloated. After all, the Military does receive a whopping 3 percent higher amount than the $400 billion in other Federal civilian outlays.

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.
