Once they grab the levers of power, the politicians are unaccountable. I have never been asked by these charlatans if it is okay to piss my money up the wall on foreign aid. So, no, "we" have not given them the right to do so. They have appropriated it without consent. Consent I would never grant.Longriderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139120804208136012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3875365454966245098.post-68821131366403905672012-07-02T09:20:51.602+01:002012-07-02T09:20:51.602+01:00but we have given the government the right to choo...but we have given the government the right to choose where to spend money by electing them in the first place<br /><br />Oh really?
