We all remember those Northwest Airlines pilots who overshot their airport while "supposedly" using the aircraft's WiFi to go online and use their laptop in the cockpit. No one knows for sure if this is true, only that the FAA Federal Aviation Administration is investigating and thus, revoked their pilot's licenses for going past the airport that day with a plane load full of passengers.

Well, this episode in aviation history is not really a big one, indeed, if we really cared about those who overshoot, we'd fire all our Congressmen and Senators for going over budget; every year! Consider if you will that our elected representatives tell us that a publicly run insurance system for healthcare for every American will only cost a certain amount of money.

If we take these politicians at face value, what are the odds that those numbers they came up with are accurate? Now mind you, every single government agency ever created has always needed more money, expanded with further taxpayer dollars, and at one time or another have always been over budget; Do you see the point? In other words, it's not possible for politicians to stay on course.

And yet, those pilots that lost their license for overshooting the airport one time, are now out of a job, and they only inconvenience 100 plus passengers on that one airline flight, and only for one additional hour. No one was severely harmed, and no one was really ever in any danger. And yet, our elected representatives are constantly going over budget and affecting 300 million taxpayers, and they do this on a daily basis. Am I missing something here? Please consider this.
