Doesn't sound to me like the "politicians" have made much headway since the 1940's.  Heh, when you read this you'll understand why the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing.

The was "ended" in May of 1945 but didn't officially end until December of 1945?  What the hell???  We've always heard May 8, 1945 was the OFFICIAL end date.  This was a mess.

There's your snafu folks.  It's still the same damned problem whether we're talking war or anything else.  Too many gubmermint departments is the first problem they have.  Eliminate about half of the departments and half or more of those damned gubmint jobs and we'd solve a lot of our fiscal problems, too.  But hey, that would be too easy.  And now with millions and millions of illegal aliens coming into the country, the gubmint feels the GREAT NEED to supply them with jobs and the hell with the people of America.  But, those fools are not worried about using OUR MONEY TO DO IT.  Money that's been taken out of paychecks for years is now being squandered by the biden's, harris's and piglosi's of the world because they think they can do no wrong.  One of these days they're gonna find out otherwise, I think.
