    So the government has finally decided to trim the fat. It will mean cutting a lot of the pork from the budget.

    Oh no. It’ll probably be as noneffective as Dubya’s “No student left behind” program.

    Sadly, this is the type of rhetoric the government puts out on a daily basis, bureaucrats and politicians alike. Is it any wonder why we ignore the government so much?

    As usual, the Senator is leading from the rear.

    We need jobs, Speaker Boner, not more useless talk about taking away people’s health insurance.

    Ah, yes. No child left behind. What, no mention of science in this program? Oh, right. Republicans don’t believe in science.

    Perhaps Michelle Obama would like to set the standard, and lose her fat first…

    Hey Nabu,

    Can you give it a rest, already?

    Your constant stats and drivel are mind numbing……..

    These are comic strips and are supposed to encourage thought and amusement………not noise

    Prosperity = overeating = obesity. Depression = hunger = weight loss.

    So it’s all good. Isn’t it?

    The best thing that Congress could do for the American people is adjourn.

    That’s it! We’ll re-name the economic decisions that led to widespread unemployment, rising prices and falling wages the “National Weight Loss Initiative”!
