The New Definition of.... GOVERNMENT

Government: gover-n-ment

Let us translate, as is customary in these definitions.
gover = gofer; n= in; ment = mint
We combine these words to read, "gofer in mint." We change the preposition to a verb, and read "gofer uses mint." The government is like a gofer, going to and fro, trying to satisfy the needs of the people by using the means of minting money.

Note: Whether or not the government is helping us by minting more money and messing up economy, this post is not meant to discuss.

Elly,
I love the way you "fracture" words and then bring out a very interesting or very pointed meaning from it.
I thought you might change "gofer" to "golfer in mint" (in other words, they are out playing golf) :-)

Happy Writing!

Wait a minute! The government, or at least the United States government, doesn't have the power to print money. Only the FED does.

It's gophers? I knew the the government made me think of rodents. What is worse, those rodents have politics! Think what those ticks might be carrying!
