Ironic

A day after the trouncing of Project Destiny, I found this in the Washington Times/Inside the Beltway column...

By the way, today — July 11 — is the first day of 2007 that "Americans can now begin to provide for themselves and their families."

So says Citizens Against Government Waste President Tom Schatz, who observes Cost of Government Day by expressing outrage at the federal, state and local governments' continued abuse of hundreds of billions of tax dollars.

The date each year is when the average American worker has earned enough to pay off his or her share of tax and regulatory burdens imposed by all levels of government, according to Americans for Tax Reform.

Americans now work more than half of the year — 192 days — to pay their share of the cost of government, with 85 of those days a result of federal spending alone.

"Taxpayers should be outraged by the government's refusal to be responsible guardians of their hard-earned money," Mr. Schatz says.

If Destiny had passed it would have gotten a little longer.

And isn't it ironic... don't you think
A little too ironic

And the scientific community is united in that fact.
