The Matrix

An article over at News With Views by Frosty Wooldridge examines some of the more "insane" type of absurdities that "our" federal government puts upon the people of America. To be sure this is a very small list of absurdities from a long and illustrious history of excelling at absurdity. Obamacare, bailout and stimulus are some big recent examples of just how well they have perfected this absurd thing.

Frosty examines several of the federal government policies asking where can anyone tell me is the sense in this?

ABSURDITIES CONGRESS FORCES UPON AMERICANS

How much sense does it make to pay for 570,000 military personnel on 700 bases in 120 countries around the world? Can anyone in the U.S. Congress or the president give a simple, rational and logical answer for such an absurd practice? Why do we keep 35,000 troops at our expense on the DMZ in South Korea for the past 50 years? Don’t they possess their own army?

Maybe an absurdity we really should be concerned about is why are we putting up with this??
