Yes, we can.

Wow, then the cost of the war must really be grating on you, Jeff.

I have no problem with our tax dollars going for such things as improved infrastructure, education, national security, etc. I am just dumbfounded at the incredible waste and graft that occurs by the people we charge with the responsibility to implement these things. They don't care- most of them don't even pay into Social Security and such, and they are set for life. I'd like to see EVERY 'public servant' have to pay the same sort of taxes we do, and try to live on their savings and SS like the rest of the country.
