Federal Family? Oh! You Mean Socialism ...

SEE HERE George Orwell's "1984" said it all. The Newspeak that liberals concoct to try to hide what they are doing needs to be outed so we can all understand that we're being gulled. Plain language would go a long way towards heading off all the government scams that are pushed on us every year. "Economic stimulus" means increased out of control and inefficient spending on programs that are mostly make work or worse. "Tax credit" once means an amount of money you didn't have to pay taxes on and no is used to refer to redistribution of monies to people who don't pay taxes in the first place. It goes on and on ... I've become fond of "challenged" to refer to people who are handicapped, which was itself a euphemism for crippled. The odd thing is how the euphemisms tend to themselves become terms that have to be replace once people figure out what they mean. "Government" is rapidly becoming a dirty word.
