Why is it when someone points out government overspending on one thing, so many people reply - with some sort of justification, I assume - with a comment about even higher government spending on something else?

"Oh yea, well what about ......"

Sounds like a school yard playground comment.

How about this? Government spends too much money on everything!

Geesh, Nick. You either think the government food stamp program is a sham, a waste, and destructive, or you don't.

I do. AV does. Are you really defending it?
