It's interesting that, while the complaint of this comic might have come from a watchdog organization of some sort in the 50s, it's very much the groundwork for the philosophy co-opted by conservative politics of the 80s-00s that almost destroyed this country.

Message aside the art on this is really great. Some of the best Alice I've ever seen. Neat!

I'm in favor of every excess they describe here. They all speak to individual freedom and benefit of government support: the writing of books, the creation of jobs, etc. Nothing here is as frivolous and as wasteful as military spending. The complaint of this comic seems to be america's cash gives too much to individuals to do esoteric projects. Why the fuck not. How is AIG and Iraq any less absurd. It's more absurd. And AIG and military is poison to the planet, whereas these are just jobs and services. Ra-Ra, Alice.

Wow, half of this stuff is still a problem today no doubt. 
 
And Tacks Payer our military spending is FAR more important than countless other places money is wasted. I am tired of you fools trying to cut America's military into some oversized police force. 
 
Also Sanchez the conservative ideology of the 1980s did not destroy the country. Obama's BS liberalism is already doing that!

Yeah, because the DoD never wastes money.  In 2009, the US had a bigger military budget than China, France, the UK, Russia, Japan, Germany, Saudi Arabia, India, Italy, Brazil, South Korea, Canada, Australia, and Spain combined (source); it's hard to believe that we couldn't afford to cut at least a few corners.

We've been cutting corners for the last 20 years! No more I say! Who the hell cares what Wikipedia says? Lump sums of cash don't matter, what matters is what they get us? The world's most capable military is worth it.

Recon-Team, you speak the truth there. 
 
Don't forget the Democrats who wanted to give out risky loans with their Fannie Mai and Freddie Mac banks.  
And those other banks who talked them into it al well. 
 
What did they expect to happen when they give out loans and no one pays 'em back? And only because they want everybody to have a house.  
 
If you don't have the money to buy something, then save your money.

I like Humpty-Dumpty as a boss. 
He was tired of being pushed of a wall for so many years that he finally said "Fuck it." and started a buisness. 
And there's a reason people don't put their files in cardboard boxes, it's because, you know, they have more of a chance of catching on fire than, say, a file cabinet.

I love how this became some sort of debate and everyone had to express their political standing/opinion. 
Can't we just make fun of the comic for once when it has to do with the government? 
Anyone remember the communist one? 
That didn't become some big, huge "let's state our opinion". 
I digress.
