                    Anyone who sends their children to a religious school may be permitted an 80% tax deduction of the tuition.

                    Air bag rules saved fewer than one tenth the lives they claimed they would save and killed people to boot.

                    Public education has gotten rid of the consequences of failure for both teachers and students, so of course very little education takes place.

                    Crackpots are thick on the ground and we can't fund them all.  How do we decide which upcoming genius/crackpot to fund?  Einstein didn't have any peers; he would never have passed "peer review."

                    It's possible that nobody will ever be able to build anything of significance again.

                    Anyone who thinks there is anything Americans cannot or will not do has lost faith in the American people, and is unfit to lead them.

                    Government ought to be able to help the economy - assuming that politicians want the economy to grow and assuming that the government is able to do what the politicians promise.

                    We don't disparage the motives of politicians, they have the same motives we do.  We don't distrust the motives of bureaucrats, we trust them all too well.

                    Why can't we Americans buy cheap cars?  The cheapest car in the US costs about $20,000, about 8 times the cost of Tata's offering.

                    Once again, lawbreakers get a nice fat Christmas present, while the longsuffering voters get "nothing but hooks and some wire."
