It may be true that I am unwashed (and in good health because of it)<BR>
but I disagree with your other allegations. I went down to the DMV a<BR>
month ago to renew my license and was out of there in 30 minutes. The<BR>
staff was polite, helpful and only made the mistake of misspelling my<BR>
name on my new license. Not too bad considering the place was packed<BR>
with Mexicans who barely spoke english.<BR>
<BR>
Likewise with Social Security, which has never missed a payment and<BR>
has an extremely low administrative overhead. Think of it as a<BR>
non-profit corporation with no stockholder dividends or parachute<BR>
plan. Just a lot of boring social servants handling money the<BR>
old-fashioned way, instead of the gamblers we see now in the financial<BR>
fields.<BR>
<BR>
So you might want to re-evaluate those analogies.<BR>
