For those who question the efficiency of government entities...
Does anybody out there have any memory of the reason given for the establishment of the DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY... during the Carter Administration?
Anybody?
Bottom line... we've spent several hundred billion dollars in support of an agency - the reason for which not one person; or very few, who reads this can remember.
It was very simple, and at the time everybody thought it very appropriate...
The 'Department of Energy' was instituted on 4 August 1977
TO LESSEN OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL.
AND NOW IT'S 2009...
32 YEARS LATER ...
AND THE BUDGET FOR THIS DEPARTMENT IS AT $24.2 BILLION A YEAR
It has
· 16,000 FEDERAL EMPLOYEES and approximately
· 100,000 CONTRACT EMPLOYEES
Ah, yes, good ole bureaucracy...
And NOW we are going to turn the Banking System, health care, auto industry (tobacco industry… ad infinitum) over to them?
