On Fox "What's Happening" 10/01/2010 (9:45 am Pst) There was a report about the White House Rating hundreds of government programs that are failures by any measure.
The programs are rated from 0% to 100% effectiveness. One of them increased from $660,000 to $147,000,000 in ten years! and it has a rating of 8% (!)
Most rational taxpayers would rate anything under 50% as a failure, a waste of money and the reason why the country is bankrupt and our children and grandchildren will inherit a debt which is literally impossible to pay down.
These are all from what is called the discretionary part of the budget, and demonstrably, here is where slush funds and total waste are hidden. And tens of thousands of unnecessary government "employees" are created; just another form of welfare.
The name of the site was spoken as "Expectmore.gov"
Instead of providing a link labeled "White house Ratings of Failed Programs" directly, the viewer has to guess what labyrinthian path through multiple links is chosen to get to the proper format, where the ratings are shown.
For those with the patience and time to find the proper format, have at it. here is a link :
White House Rates Failed Programs
If I manage to find the magic link to the proper format, I will share it later in this thread.
Good luck.
