This is, I believe, the all time greatest column.   i've adjusted it for inflation but the conclusions are indeed timeless.  Indianasmith and some others don't like this type of thing and it of course has no place in a badmovies forum but I don't care!!  I'm too much of a snob to attend the FOX engineered tea parties so this is my contribution to all taht

Bulldoze the Beltway!!

this chart shows the department, what it doesn't do, and how much we'd save by getting rid of it

Quote
Agriculture   Grows no crops. $19 billion
 
Commerce  Neither makes nor sells merchandise.  $6 billion
 
Education
 Know anyone educated by the Department of Education? $34  billion
 
Energy
 Jimmy Carter’s idea—need I say more?
 $17 billion
 
HHS  Dump the FDA, our most lethal agency. Whatever
else HHS does, it’s bad.  $54 billion
 
HUD Inventor of "the projects"; destroyer of cities.
 $37 billion
 
Interior An independent nation larger than France. $9 billion
 
Labor Engages in no actual labor. $12 billion
 
Transportation Capitol of pork. (Keep the Coast Guard.) $48 billion
 
Corps of Eng Causes floods. See FEMA.
 $4 billion
 
FEMA This agency’s a disaster (in dealing with the floods caused
by the Corps of Engineers).
 $3 billion
 
EPA If you want an important job done badly,
give it to a federal bureaucracy. $7 billion
 
Foreign Aid  Retirement fund for corrupt dictators/ bribing
Egypt and Israel to pretend to like each other.
 $11 billion
 
NASA Challenger. Need I say more? $14 billion
 
SBA They only waste a billion dollars each year,
but they waste it magnificently. $1 billion

I checked the federal debt not too long ago, it was 10.5 trillion.  Now I see it's 11.2 trillion (Well, it's 11.199 trillion at this moment, so it won't hit 11.2 trillion for an hour or so).  The only way spending will ever be cut is with a complete economic meltdown and total restructuring of the government, and that's pretty much 100% inevitable.

The Biblical concept of a Year of Jubilee is looking better and better . . .

cancel all debts, worldwide, and start over again.

Never happen in a million years, but it would be cool.

The Department of Energy was formed by Carter in 1977 to reduce the US dependency on foreign oil, the correct amount of the cost of the DOE is $24.5 Billion a year, it has 16,000 Federal Employees and over 100,000 independent contractor and since 1977 the U.S. dependency on foreign oil has doubled.

So good job to the DOE for doing nothing, and the government thinks they can run banks.  Lookingup

You want to cut $5+ Billion a year from the budget right away and not really irk many American on the right or left, stop funding the UN.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
