Our gov't with a plan?

Yeah, I'm not so sure our government has a plan for much of anything other than reducing taxes for the wealthy and telling people how to run their lives because we've forgotten how to separate church and state. I'm not so sure we are really prepared to take ANYTHING if it doesn't include a grenade launcher; much less alien invaders, or that Bush can even spell alien invaders for that matter. I would like to think that science fiction writers are intelligent individuals who are either: a.) creative enough to invent their own ideas, b.) liberal politicos who enjoy spunky satire or c.) branching off of topics that interest them because they contain enough of the scientific information themselves to make the story believeable. If they got that from the government then where is this government hiding? They need to make an appearance before the world explodes or is ravaged by another hurricane. That's my thought...but I could be wrong.
