Organizations can continue to function as long as someone is willing to continue to flood them with cash...

...but simply continuing to operate doesn't mean they are efficient, effective, or even sustainable. - Michael Smith 

...just look at the New York Times, the WaPo, the Dispatch, or any NeverTrump group for proof - but simply continuing to operate doesn't mean they are efficient, effective, or even sustainable.

• That is true for government as well.

We are getting a look behind the curtain at how and why government continues to function, and it is because it sets fire to trillions of dollars of taxpayer and borrowed cash every single year. 

• That is why the Democrats are freaking out at the mention of any action to reduce the size and scope of government - they are cold blooded reptilians and the only way they stave off hibernation is through the warmth that radiates from burning cash.
• If it weren't for the greenback bonfires, the Democrats would go into stasis and fall out of the trees like Iguanas during a Florida cold snap...
