You need a Mastercard to get out of the warzone.

Isn't just like the government to pay $1,000 for a toilet seat, spend millions on dollars on military equipment (i.e.. Sgt. York Tank), spend money on bridges to nowhere (in Alaska), pretty much act like a spaz with Katrina hit last year, and now this:  with thousand of Americans now in harms way of the conflict between Israel and Lebanon, the US is asking all American evacuees to promise to pay the government back for getting them out of there.

 

Just a short time ago it was announced that " the Bush administration is waiving the requirement that Americans had to pay or reimburse the government for being evacuated from Lebanon."  Wow!  It didn't take an act of Congress to waive this fee?  I'd like to say this was a great move, however, that fact that it was even news that the government was going to charge these people to get out of this combat zone is pitiful.
