I'll choose my plate

The American appetite has demonstrated for over 40 years, a total disregard of the government's food pyramid. I have every confidence we normal people will again choose our own plates. Proteins, grains, dairy and 40% of 'additional' calories have traditionally been on our menu, No new four-way divided plate with an emphasis on vegetables, grains, fruits and a small dairy on the side makes a whit of difference to us now. .gov is the key to the contradiction of nannyism and a failure to control. Here's a shout out from us to them in government, " Nobody cares."

Government is always the problem and the source of hypocrisy. GM, GE, Verizon and AT&T receive gov't funds - paid for by us Americans - to subsidize their early retirement benefits. The UAW receives twice the amount of the above 4 corporations to support them. This fact shows the hypocrisy of the constant complaint in Washington about big corporations and rich CEO's controlling our country and deserving no support because they do not pay their fair share. Yet they get supported every time they show that they are 'too big to fail.'

Furthermore, nearly half of the cost of state and local governments is to pay for benefits of state and local employees. Too many Americans work for the government with liberal and unsustainable benefits. A happy tune is sung by 22 million takers but other taxpayers sing a sad song because they must pay the bills.
