I will say this for the third and final time so both Hound and justaguy will stop trying to defend government workers. I did not say all government workers don't work or don't make a contribution. Many do, including my wife that worked for EPA Region IV for nine years. What I am saying is that the size and scope of our Federal government is already too large and rather than increasing it as Obama is suggesting it should be decreased with a commensurate decrease in federal taxes.

As for duct tape, just to show how illiterate justaguy is, adhesive tape was invented in the 1920's by Richard Drew of 3M and duct tape (a derivative of adhesive tape) was invented by Johnson and Johnson Permacel Division in 1942. Just in case you were not familiar with them, these are both private companies that took their after tax earnings and invested in research and development so they could develop a product that the federal government could use. And by the way, NASA is simply a funding vehicle for the space program. The vast majority of the real work is done by private companies under contract to NASA. Didn't you pay attention during the Apollo 13 movie?!?!

As for the crack about disagreeing with me and illiteracy, I an open to correction with facts rather than liberal feel-good nonsense. Both GF and Hound have been willing to do that and when I am proven wrong I will admit it. What I cannot take is people saying things because they want to believe it is true regardless of reality. It is not about emotion, it is about the truth.

As my Dad used to say, it is better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
