By moving away from Eugene, I terminated the 'social contract' between the City and me.  

Unfortunately, neither of us are willing to do the same with the United States so we are stuck with the spending and other decisions 'they' make at that level with which we disagree.  

For me, the F-35 Fighter is the most expensive recent military spending decision I disagree with, although the useless and break-down prone littoral destroyers are rapidly becoming part of my top dislike list.
