I got this as a joke.....but if it's true then how funny is it?!?!?


Wacky Americans

- We yell for the Government to balance the budget, then take the last dime we have to make the down payment on a car.

- We whip the enemy in battle, then give them the shirt off our backs.

- We yell for speed laws that will stop fast driving, then won't buy a car if it can't go over 100 miles an hour.

- Americans get scared to death if we vote a billion dollars for education, then are unconcerned when we find out we are spending three billion dollars a year for cigarettes.

- We know the line-up of every baseball team in the American and National Leagues but don't know half the words in the "Star Spangled Banner".

- We'll spend half a day looking for vitamin pills to make us live longer, then drive 90 miles an hour on slick pavement to make up for lost time.

- We tie up our dog while letting our sixteen year old son run wild.

Sorry but this argument isn't holding water with me.

You don't think I can argue the other side?

Were this a health care argument these folks would be wanting the government not only to pay for universal health care for everyone, with those who have the money free to choose further coverage, they'd want the government to pony up for their coverage as well.


Instead they don't even want folks to have universal health care coverage, but they DO want the government to take money from the schools for all kids because they want something else, and don't want to pay for it.

Could be the best line I've seen on here in quite some time. *rolling eyes*
