America on Fire

[lastlib]

12. K & R! Well done, sir!!

I liked this bit:

In Australia, the fear is that the fires being battled by heroic public servants who got their funding cut were initially started by arsonists. In America, the arsonists are in Congress, on Wall Street, and in the White House to no small degree.

As these budget negotiations commence, and cuts to Social Security and Medicare are bandied about as "the responsible thing to do," it is the American people who will have to stand on the fire line and contain the pyromaniacs in whatever way we can.
