Typical Government Programs

Two for today, both from my favorite blog, michellemalkin.com:

- The first shows how government entitlements are rarely temporary and never cost less than we are told up front - Remember that $8,000 home credit for new buyers passed last November? 40 percent of all home buyers this year will qualify for it (sure wish I could take $8,000 off my mortgage!). It's going to cost the taxpayers $15 billion, more than twice the amount projected when it was passed. Skeptics say most of those people would have bought a home anyway, and unless it's allowed to expire in November as planned, it will become one more entitlement that fails to die.
