Who did you psychoanalyze with your diatribe? If me, you were in the 
wrong room.

  Two of those three are proper functions of the federal government.

   Squares/ Are you having a flashback? LOL

Again your in the wrong room.

be tough even in the LCOL area I'm in.

   If you think our government is not wasteful with bad policies,
("you must be a democrat!") you just haven't been paying attention.

  Oh, you lose, you had to resort to name calling.
