Though it is interesting just how many anti-bureaucracy Republicans in
Congress have never been a day without their government employment (or
assistance) check... :)

Rush Limbaugh would not be here today if it were not for the Welfare
System (and he admits as much).

And let us not forget that N.A.S.A., Dubya's current pet project, is
essentially a government jobs project.  And likely to involve even more
people, as Dubya continues to push for shoving more human beings into
space instead of intelligent robots (Yahoo News:

The W.P.A. morphed into N.A.S.A.  The only difference is that most of the
jobs now require more education than the W.P.A. required.

Don't get me wrong.  I think N.A.S.A. is a worthwhile institution.  I
just find it ironic that someone who claims to be anti-federal-government
and anti-social programs is promoting a federal government program which
creates new government jobs as fast as it can.
