An exceedingly excellent point, one which deserves
repeated attention.  Whenever you hear that the govt.
spends X millions or billions, it is obvious who pays
(the pay-up-or-go-to-jail taxpayer), but WHO GETS THE
LOOT, 'cause what really motivates the transaction is
the thievin' weasels on the receiving end.  But you're
not supposed to notice that, or if you do, you're
supposed to hope for some crumbs to trickle down your
way.

Whoops!  Sorry.  Never mind.  Grrrr.

Time to go shopping,...and forget.

Best, Jeff Davis
