I didn't write this one either, but here it goes...
Absolutely the funniest "joke" ever - ON US!
Does anybody out there have any recollection 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 have 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 August 4, 1977 TO LESSEN OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL!!
Pretty efficient, huh?
And now here we are today, in 2009 – 32 years later.
And the budget for this department is $24.2 BILLION a year.
They have 16,000 federal employees and approximately 100,000 contract employees.
And just look at the splendid job they have done!
This is where you slap your forehead and ask, “What were we thinking?”
Ah yes, good ole bureaucracy.
And NOW we are going to turn the Banking System, the Auto Industry and our Health Care System over to them?
GOD HELP US ALL!
The joke's on us!!!!
