Our Government At Work

Does anybody remember 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 have spent hundreds of billions of dollars on an agency that no one can remember why it was created.
Ready ??? It is very simple. The Department of Energy was created on 8- 4-1977 to lessen our dependence on Foreign oil.Everyone thought, What a great idea.

Hey, Pretty efficient, don't you think ?

Now it is 2009. Thirty two years later. The annual budget for the Department is $24.2 Billion dollars. It employees 16,000 people. They have over 100,000 contract employees.

It is time to slap your forehead and ask, What were they thinking ? Ah yes ... Good old Government bureaucracy.

And now we are going to turn over the running of Banking, the Auto Industry and Health care to these people!


HELLOOO! Anybody Home?
