Pull the headcount figures and I’ll be you would see a direct correlation between the number of employees (as reflected by these “outlay” stats) and the number of prosecutions for fraud, allegations of theft, conversion, and fraud. “Smaller government” has always been a core principle of conservatism for a reason: as the size of gov’t grows, so does the opportunity for corruption. The more employees, the more likely there will be bad apples in with the good. And worst of all, the more gov’t grows, the more it needs to continue to grow just to sustain itself, like the the “monster that ate New York” in the old horror flicks.
The solution is obvious. Finding a leader who will actually implement that solution is not.
My theory on the lack of a budget - This administration and the rats in congress do not want to pass a budget. If congress passes a budget the government agencies only have a set amount to spend.
Without a budget, Obama can allow his agencies to spend whatever they need and congress is forced to pass a continuing resolution to continue the party. There are no real or enforced restrictions on government spending right now.
It’s simplistic, but it also seems obvious. Is’nt it strange that nobody in the media discusses how the lack of a budget removes the constraints from government spending?
BMK
America needs a CEO; not a BHO.
Obama’s top priotities:
Playing golf
Shooting hoops
Frequent and expensive vacations on whitey’s dime
Blaming others for his failures
Testing new teleprompters
Inciting racial tensions
Prejudging potential criminal trials
Exactly where is he stashing all of his employees, and to which department did he push his expenses?
