A NEW LOW: White House says death benefits bill 'not necessary'. That's only because a private foundation has already agreed to pick up the tab.

And yet a private individual is not allowed to pick up the trash and mow the lawn around the Lincoln Memorial. [Don't want to embarrass the Occupy Wall Streeters? - Ed.]

And in the state of Arizona dependent communities can't pick up the tab for keeping the Grand Canyon open. And private businesses leasing space on national park properties aren't allowed to stay open.

The stench of hypocrisy is overwhelming.
