THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY'S JOKE---- ON US!!!!
- TRUE OR FALSE?? ANYONE KNOW?
- Does anybody out there have any memory of the reason given for the establishment of the DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY during the Carter Administration? Anybody? Anything? No?
- 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 8-04-1977 TO LESSEN OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL. HEY, PRETTY EFFICIENT, HUH?
- AND NOW IT'S 2008, 31 YEARS LATER, AND THE BUDGET FOR THIS NECESSARY DEPARTMENT IS AT $24.2 BILLION A YEAR, THEY HAVE 16,000 FEDERAL EMPLOYEES, AND APPROXIMATELY 100,000 CONTRACT EMPLOYEES AND LOOK AT THE JOB THEY HAVE DONE!
- THIS IS WHERE YOU SLAP YOUR FOREHEAD AND SAY 'WHAT WAS I THINKING?'
- Ah yes, good ole beauocracy. And now we are going to turn the Banking system over to the congress? God Help us.
