No longer the Federal Government

Posted in: Muscatine

New messages from the former Federal Government now refer to themselves as the "Federal Family". So I guess if you don't mind being screwed by your own 'family', you probably think this new moniker is a good thing. To me it conjurs up images of "The Family" in the Godfather movie. Of course this 'family' also calls increased taxes 'revenue enhancement' and spending is now 'investment'. I'm sure we have a new wordsmith in the home of the "Federal Family" with a thesarus working overtime figuring out how to say "brace yourself" in a kinder gentler language. That is probably one of thejobs created by the "Family".

Just curious as to the comments.  If you don't have anything to say, then don't bother saying anything.

Probably something out of Chicago.  In Chicago the term "family" has a unique meaning.

Both Jay Carney and Janet Napolitano referred to the gov't as the "Federal Family".
