It’s really nice that the US congress can take up really important issues at this critical time, such as deciding if people should be allowed to kill horses for consumption.

Yes, I mean terrorism, immigration, the economy and healthcare reform should all totally take a backseat to deciding if it’s legal for a horses owner to do what they want with their property.

So, on NPR this morning I hear a story about Israelis having to deal with the trauma of rocket attacks. The gentleman they talked to was taking multiple anti-depressants to deal with the stress. All their medical paid for by the government of Israel, which in turn gets paid by the US government.
It would be nice if my government used my tax money to help it’s own citizens with healthcare before it offers it up to Israel.
