Government Waste

Thank goodness our government is finally gonna get a handle on the U.S. deficit. What? You're surprised? Well, consider that this week our president announced the formation of a "bipartisan" panel to focus on reducing deficits. Yep, you can rest assured that they'll get to the bottom of our deficit issues.

Now I don't know about you, but I thought that was the job of our elected representatives. And who do you think will make up that "bipartisan" commission? Do you think it will be independent auditors that have no ties to the elected morons who've helped create this mess? I doubt it.

So once again, the federal government will pay people lots of money to tell us what we already know; the idiots responsible for oversight of our federal spending have been derelict in their duties for many years and it needs to be stopped. But no one will be fired, tried or even slapped on the wrist. The final report probably won't even be shown to the public. If it is, it will only be after somebody twists the findings to show that the irresponsibilities were the fault of people no longer in office ('cause God-forbid one of our esteemed politicians be held to account).

Please encourage your friends to pay attention.
