More taxpayer money for people who don't deserve it

Part of me wants to join a gang, get a tattoo, leave the gang, complain that the reason I can't get a job is because I have a tattoo, and then let the federal government fix my problem and leave the burden on the taxpayers.

So if you're a defender of tattoo removal, you might say it's a good thing that the $410 billion spending bill that Congress is sending to President Barack Obama includes $200,000 for a small California program that helps people get their unstained skin back.

If you're an opponent, you might say it's a big waste of money.

"I would think under a personal responsibility platform, if you were responsible for getting a tattoo put on you, you might ought to be responsible for getting it taken off, and I do not think our grandchildren ought to be paying for it," said Oklahoma Republican Sen. Tom Coburn.

I have seen alot of irresponsible spending lately, but this is simply the icing on the cake. Our student fees appear to be going up by over $1000 next year, so if the federal government has money to waste I suggest they donate it to the state of California- to put into the higher education system that is clearly struggling.

The Trouble with gun control...

At this past Tuesday's meeting we talked about the second amendment, and some utterly ridiculous laws that the democrats are trying to get passed. 

What have we learned about gun control???

Oh yea, that it raises crime rates because the entire concept of gun control lacks logic all together. 

Take this for example, 

- Law abiding citizens follow the law

- Felons clearly do not follow the law

-Felons cannot have guns

-But felons don't obey the laws, so they have guns

-If we make it nearly impossible for the average law abiding citizen to own a gun for self defense how would they defend themselves and their family if a someone breaks in to rob them. Remember felons don't care if the law says they can't have a gun, they will be armed and an innocent person will be defenseless.
