"Everything that comes as 'free' from the government....comes really from people who work (hard)."
- My quote, if you were wondering
It doesn't matter if it's a service, a welfare check, a Army grunt on a 120-day temp-duty situation protecting 'something', a luxury car for some DC city council guy, an addition of 50-odd flag poles for some base....they seem 'free' but they aren't.
We probably need to invent a new word for this situation....where 'free' is something entirely different in meaning.

To conceal those skim-scams, their costs are spread over generations.
You and I pay for one flagpole or one tire on the limousine, our children and grandchildren pay for a few more, ad infinitum.

I suspect those debts are never paid, but the skim-scam interest continues rolling in to that certain old familiar 'foreign influence' we cannot criticize.
"If we don't steal it, somebody else will!"
I bring up the flagpole thing....as I joined the Air Force (1977)....there were usually two or three flagpoles on each base. Then in the 1980s....everyone wanted to have state flags noted....so bases went nuts....adding 50 mini-poles. No one ever asked if this was necessary or worth the effort.
