The "Fun Machine"



During our excursion to SeaWorld a few weeks ago the kids really wanted to feed the dolphins (fine, I really wanted to feed the dolphins but used the kids as the excuse, and don't tell me you've never done that). Well, I noticed we needed more "fun" so I just went to the "Fun Machine." What a great invention, I can just walk up to it and BAM! Fun is at my fingertips. I did have to hit the fun machine one more time during the day, but I figure, no big deal. For one, I have decided not to participate in the recession and second I'm not doing anything the Federal Government isn't doing. I guess the point I am trying to make with my failed attempt at sarcasm is what allows the government to spend and spend but if I do it the bank will send me nasty letters. Sure I can survive for a little while but eventually I will have to choose between making a light payment or putting food on the table. Is our government going to reach the point of choosing between funding the military or cutting welfare? SO maybe if the right program is cut it will turn into a win-win situation after all. I just wish I had access to the government's Fun Machine.
