Read this slowly.
Absolutely the funniest joke ever........ON US !!! Let it sink in.
Quietly we go like sheep to slaughter.
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 on
8-04-1977
TO LESSEN OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL.
Hey, pretty efficient, huh?????
AND NOW IT'S 2009,
32 YEARS LATER ....
AND THE BUDGET FOR THIS
NECESSARY DEPARTMENT IS AT
$24.2 BILLION A YEAR
IT HAS
16,000 FEDERAL EMPLOYEES
AND APPROXIMATELY
100,000 CONTRACT EMPLOYEES
AND LOOK AT THE JOB IT HAS DONE!
THIS IS WHERE YOU SLAP YOUR FOREHEAD AND SAY 'WHAT WAS I THINKING?'
Ah, yes, good ole bureaucracy..
And NOW we are going to turn the Banking System & the Auto Industry over to them?
God Help Us !!!
