Jim just missed the word "style". Easy thing to do when reading fast as we sometimes do. But not, back to the contents and the point of the execise. The contention is that things are not being run perhaps as well as they could be and this is due to some in our government being idiots. I tend to agree with most of the line item complaints, but I think it is due to less benign motives. The urge to control others seems to be a common human tendency. When folks from either side of the aisle get into power, it seems to become an overwhelming urge. Another reason I am for (much) smaller government with decisions made much closer to the people they will affect.
