to our we'll being Perhaps still think we can buy
ourselves out Of this shoot dollars at the
enemies Of our Country. Perhaps we have become so
accustomed to calling upon local, Stote and Fed
erol Government to do small services thot we should
do ourselves that still think our government can
do these things in time Of great peril if we pay for them
