If we need money, it is our job to figure out how to profit off of it like Americans, unlike other countries that do depend on government grants.

Everyone (responsible) talks about cutting government spending, at any level. What no one realizes is why it never gets done: When you end up looking at the list to choose cuts from, you realize there is no way to do it without being called names.

I think it would be helpful if everyone read up on the Wikipedia consensus on "Pork barrel."

Keep your divisive political opinions to chit-chat please.
