I think what bothers me so much about this is how useless our federal politician are. I mean, I accept that taxes will be wasted and have generally lived under the principal that you should never rely on the government to take care of you but this is quite disturbing, especially SoS
Guergis not paying the prisoner a visit even though she's 20 minutes away. I can live with the fact that taxes will be collected and spent, probably in scandals and inappropriately and I'm fine with that.
