Program standards

Jesse is completely right:

Is there any program in the government that's held to the same standards as Social Security? By this standard, the entire government has been in crisis for three years, and looks to be in crisis for the foreseeable future. Somehow, totally unimportant.

Damn skippy.

BTW, don't read the article linked to at Jesse's post... it is so bad it will make your head explode, and then you will have to clean up the nice new LCD monitor you got for Christmas.
