Simple Simon met a pieman

I've written about this before, so no need to go into great detail, but Wonk from the Free Press has another one of his moronic columns comparing the budgets of government to those of a family.  Apparently Wonk feels he has some sort of folksy charm (he absolutely does not) that can get those of us with a brain to overlook his simpleton views.  Guess again, Wonk!

If anyone wants to know what's wrong with the whole process of government budgets, they need to look no further than columns such as this one.  This whole idea of regular folks solving big problems works really well in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, but truthfully, America's budgetary problems require a lot more than the heartfelt conviction of Jefferson Smith.  It requires the best and the brightest, and above all else, it requires honesty.  And to pretend that government budgets are just like the family budget is the height of dishonesty.

Peace,
