.
*Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the
middle of a desert. Congress said, "Someone may steal from it at
night." So they created a night watchman position and hired a
person for the job.
.
Then Congress said, "How does the watchman do his job without
instruction?" So they created a planning department and hired two
people, one person to write the instructions, and one person to do
time studies.
.
Then Congress said, "How will we know the night watchman is doing
the tasks correctly?" So they created a Quality Control department
and hired two people. One to do the studies and one to write the
reports.
.
Then Congress said, "How are these people going to get paid???" So
they created two positions: a timekeeper and a payroll officer, then hired two people.
.
Then Congress said, "Who will be accountable for all of these
three people, an Administrative Officer, Assistant Administrative Officer, and a Legal Secretary.
.
Then Congress said, "We have had this command in operation for one
Year and we are $918,000 over budget, we must cutback."

NOW slowly, let it sink in.

Quietly, we go like sheep to slaughter.

??? Does anybody remember the reason given for the establishment of
the DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY..... during the Carter Administration???
.
Anybody?
.
Anything?
.
NOPE?
.
Didn’t think so!
.

Bottom Line.

.

We've spent $$$ several hundred billion dollars $$$ in support of an agency....

The reason for which not one person who reads this

can remember!

.
Ready??

.
It was very simple...and at the time, everybody thought it very
appropriate.
.
*The Department of Energy was instituted on 8/04/1977,
.

* “TO LESSEN OUR DEPENDENCE ON

FOREIGN OIL.” *

.
Hey, pretty efficient, huh???
.
AND NOW IT'S 2010 -- 33 YEARS LATER -- AND THE BUDGET $$$ FOR THIS "NECESSARY" DEPARTMENT IS AT $24.2 BILLION $$$ A YEAR. IT HAS 16,000 FEDERAL EMPLOYEES AND APPROXIMATELY 100,000 CONTRACT EMPLOYEES; AND LOOK AT THE JOB IT HAS DONE!

.

(THIS IS WHERE YOU SLAP YOUR FOREHEAD AND SAY, "WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?")
.
* 33 years ago 30% of our oil consumption was foreign imports.*
.
* Today 70% of our oil consumption is foreign imports.*
.
Ah, yes -- good old Federal bureaucracy.
.
NOW WE HAVE TURNED OVER THE BANKING SYSTEM, HEALTH CARE, AND THE AUTO INDUSTRY TO THE SAME GOVERNMENT?

.
* Hello!! Is Anybody Home?
.

* NOVEMBER, NOVEMBER, NOVEMBER! *
.
*TAKE OUT THE TRASH*
