The $12 Billion Dollar Mystery

How could I have forgotten to talk about yet another failure within our government system? When I heard that the U.S. shipped overseas to Iraq during the beginning of the war I couldn't help but get really angry at our politicians. Who the hell loses twelve billion dollars??? We do. No records of exchanges, no accountability, no concern that 25 billion has been lost (since we replaced the missing funds with even more funds). We can fund unnecessary wars but we can't figure out how to make sure everyone has heat in zero degree weather. We can't fund food programs or education or affordable housing. How messed up are we? From the sounds of this newly revealed screw up...we are very messed up as people.

On a completely separate note...I had another dream this morning. This time I was wearing a really sexy sleeveless black floor length dress. I also remember being thinner like a size ten or something. I was with a guy but I don't know who. The feeling I got from the dream was that it was someone with whom I was involved. We stopped to go buy something in a store. As we approached the door to the store, a group of police officers passed by and whistled at me. Once in the store...there was nothing but shelves of chocolate candy. I don't remember any more. At least the dreams are now putting me in really great clothes. I would love to go to some event that requires formal wear. I think it's fun getting all dressed up every now and then. Oh well...I better get moving. Maybe i'll revisit later.
