It has been on the news here in Denmark and in Sweden.
Watching these issues made me remember what my Grandma and grandpa once told me about food restriction during WWII where Danes got these coupon which allowed them to buy so much butter/milk/meat per week Will we end in same situation ? Markus

No problem matey, I know many countries used the same term but Denmark could quite easily have had a different name or term for it.

For example - the toll collectors were originally guessed to collect the tolls that were meant to pay for the road construction. Now, the roads have been paid for 10x over as the tolls now go to service there pensions, salaries, and benefits of the tool collectors - all with continuous cries for more funding for maintenance and upkeep. Likewise - there are around 24,000 Congressional staffers. That's an average of 44 staff per senator/congressman. Most if not all of them shouldn't be employed. Perhaps if Congress had to write their own bills and read their own bills, we wouldn't be in the mess we're in. Likewise, in many federal government jobs, the government employee is an incompetent figurehead while the work gets done by a contractor. Why pay for one employee when you can get two for 3x the price... All of the waste of oxygen ex-govvies can go become longshoremen and truck drivers and help end our shortages... |

One thing I would like to see is the end of these large omnibus bills. Far too large and usually presented with little or no time to reasonably read and absorb all the details. Bills passing through congress should be about one single thing or issue. You want to address five issues then draft five separate bills and while you're at it limit them to no more than a half dozen pages of verbiage.

He could have used even less words and just said "politicians". Saying that they're out of control is redundant.

Your picture reminded me of a scene in Naked Gun 2½
Where the Mayor says to Detective Frank Drebin (Can't remember exact word phrase) The Town is ruin by animals, what's your excuse ? Frank Drebin - Don't blame me I didn't vote for/on them. Edit Changed what Frank Drebin says to the Mayor End edit Markus
