What Was That You Said?

It never seems to end in this state. Now, the powers that be, want to throw more requirements on the folks who test your hearing and fit hearing aids. Not that that will help anything and will likely only make things worse since there appears to be a shortage of such specialists in this state in the first place.

It gets even better than that. Along that same line, some are now saying more educrats and education "leaders" should be required to have doctorates in education. Just what we need: more education simply for education's sake. As with the audiologists proposal, the underlying motive in this one is to either line someone's own pockets or to further build one's own empire, as in the case of education.

It seems unstoppable. Whether by accident, design, or just government and "special interests" taking on a life of their own, it's true what a wise man once said: "When you give the government a hammer, soon everything starts looking like a nail.".
