more like: cash for clunkers, endless bailouts, fannie mae & freddie mac, HHS budget of $700+ billion per year. And an average federal hiring salary of $70k per year. Oh yeah and Congressmen get FULL pensions after just 1 term.

Well, seeing as the screenshot is from an Australian tv network, I don’t think US-specific programs apply.
We could talk about intervention in indigenous communities, failures in public hospitals and Wayne Swan’s idiocy instead, if you’d like.

I agree with everyone that there is tons to complain about– I just took issue with people implying it’s the very *existence* of government that causes problems we face in all our respective countries. Even full-out libertarians recognise the need for *some* services from government.
—Beware- blog & news junkie mini-rant ahead:

IMO, we may complain all we want, but if we don’t* get together in big numbers to put real pressure (phone calls, open letters, protests, boycotting companies affiliated with corrupt lobbies, &c.) on politicians, they’ll keep getting away with the BS their friends ask and lobbyists pay them to pull on us.*Of course, I think a large part of the blame for public sheep-dom lies with the media’s utter failure to give people reliable and RELEVANT information from multiple points of view. Thankfully, blogs are starting to fill that gap.
Take care, all.

Whichever agency runs out of money first is the loser.

The lawyers have pledged that they will fight it out to the last dime.
The agency to get the least stimulus money to support the legal costs is the loser.
Oh wait. The correct answer is neither is the loser. The loser is the taxpayer

It’s good for us aussies to get some exposure every now and again.
Arthur Eld says:
So you’re saying we would be less stupid if our conversation goes something like this:
“Stupid government, sueing itself.”
“Yes, that is a fail!”
“And it’s the taxpayers money they’re wasting!”
“Indeed.”
…I disagree with you.

probiesaurus says:
That channel logo is from an Australian network, yet I haven’t heard of this story. So either I fail at current affairs, or someone wins at faking a believable fail. WHICH IS IT?!?
Reply
I googled it. The story may be about Hawaii. I came up with “Kauai Property Tax Revolt: Government Sues Itself and Wins”. It looks like somebody has been in the Maui Wowie.

It’s the New South Wales Govt in Sydney, Australia.
They excel at setting the FAIL bar higher!
Funny thing is that lots of people (especially the libertrarian-leaning kind) will see this as yet another example why “big government” is bad and wasteful – when it is in fact the kind of thing that a big, centralized government usually *prevents*.
In the Libertarian Utopia where all public services are provided by for-profit companies, things that are now intra-government disputes usually settled by a higher authority would have to be resolved in a court *all the time*.

You really have no idea what a Libertarian is, do you.

*puts CO2 to General’s a**s*
*fart to Admiral Apparent*
*plants trees with CCC*If you hire a new lawyer, your new lawyer should take care of the process of getting your file from your former lawyer and getting any necessary substitution of counsel filed with the court.
You can hire any lawyer you want, as long as they’re licensed to practice in the court where your case is pending, but hiring one near the courthouse can save you from having to pay for your lawyer’s travel time.
