5. About half the anti-big gubment teabaggers around here collect a state pension or salary
Just like their teabagger representatives do.

Kind of crazy when you stop and think about it.

3. "Fell through the cracks"
From the article:

Ablow did say that “it is amazing from all the information coming from his days of high school straight through to today, that this man fell through the cracks, it sounded as if he needed to be under psychiatric care for quite some time.”

----

That's one of the problems. We don't have cracks in the system that allow it, we have huge Grand Canyon sized canyons in the system that have no hope of helping.

6. No problem here.
I worked for the State of Ohio for 23 years, and I have been railing against the government since I was 17.
