    Yeah. Well. There is that.

    The media is always eager to question the huge expense of some of those 5% wedges, but they have never in my lifetime questioned the single biggest wedge. Ever. It is a complete non-issue.

    Actually, that’s not true. There was a bit of a stink in the 70s over the cost of toilet seats, as I recall. But since Reagan, there hasn’t been a peep on the subject.

    I didn’t realize we are spending 5x as much on the military – adjusted for inflation – as we spent at the height of WWII.

    That does give one some pause, does it not?

    I wonder how the political discourse would change if THAT fact was widely known.
