Forget Pelosi, she’s not the issue. DOE IS.

That’s a good list of cuts and restructuring. As you doubtless know, most of what DOE does is “spread the wealth around”, providing grants for R&D and all kinds of things to cronies and universities. Having worked on such projects I’ve seen firsthand what the ratio of waste vs. actual productivity is. Virtually NONE of this work would have ever been done had it been necessary for companies to write the check themselves to pay for it, and virtually NONE of it ever led to commercial success.

But ALL of it created more dependency on the DoE for continuing the handouts. You may as well call it “food stamps for PhDs”...

Whatever noble intents there were for creating the DOE, these have been overshadowed by corruption to the point of this Department being unredeemable. And, to think that Pelosi was in such a powerful position as Speaker of the House and two heartbeats away from the Presidency!

I love how you put that!



Where there's a shell, there's a way.

25 years ago, we had Ronald Reagan, Johnny Cash, and Bob Hope.
Today we have Obama, no cash, and no hope!

If you can't appreciate the pure beauty of the violin after hearing this, something's wrong with your ears.

Or you can get raw with these strings.

How about this gamechanger from America's Got Talent (which they SHOULD have won).

And finally, this, dedicated to the one and only rdb2, whose eyes are growing dim.

Either way, the violin is sweet yet LETHAL.

Do it!
