gross national hapiness index

[Jester]

Like booze, heroin, hookers, and cigarettes? The government is no fun (unless you are in congress and put it on your expense account). I wonder how much our Presidents star studded exclusive Halloween party cost?

Nobody checks anyone else's tax deductions to see if they're spending it on booze, heroin, hookers and cigarettes. Did the government issue "banking stamps" when they bailed out the financial system? How much of that got spent on hookers and blow?

Paternalism is only for the poor. Everyone else, we trust to maximize their own utility.
