    Too close

    Unfortunately, this is much closer to the truth than most of us want to admit.

    Only in government or politics is a "cut in spending" really an increase. It's just not as much of an increase as they wanted it to be, therefore a "cut".

      It certainly is. But, on the bright side, tax preparation hasn't been outsourced yet! Whew!! Has it?????

        Tax prep has been outsourced to India for several years now. Mostly big company stuff, but I've gotten emails and letters from firms who want to contract the work for my office, and it's going to India.

          There seems to be a lot of imported beer being sold in the bars and liquor stores, so the only item left is prostitutes.

                I may be wrong, but I think that I read somewhere that some of the lottery work was being outsourced.
