Priorities

Last night as I was watching the Late Night News, I listened to a blurb on the expense of switching all TV's to HD TV's. It was pretty interesting, did you know they were giving away coupons/vouchers for converter boxes? Oh, by they I mean our government. That's right, our tax money is going to buying converter boxes for other people's tv's. The funny thing is that they've already ran out - and are now adding people to a waiting list to give even more money away!

I thought about this a second and realised that the government won't pay for my healthcare, they won't buy my daughters school new textbooks,computers, or quality food, but they can pay to make sure everyone can watch TV.

Where did our priorities go?
