Bonuses for a corrupt, inept, brain dead bureaucracy that busily drives this nation into a swamp?

Long past time to thin out and eliminate half of this monstrous behemoth that aid and abet a criminal occupying the White Hut and his 1,000 person WH staff and the staff that fills up all Congressrat offices.

Disability. It takes an accomplished disability scam lawyer and one of a myriad of administrative law judges that has a bleeding heart (or a hand out for a bribe).

It will be worth the disruption and suffering that may temporarily result from purging/firing/arresting ALL those criminal perps in the bureaucracy. The compromised degenerates know who they are...Justice will find them and prevail.

The whole concept here was to throw as much gummint $$$$$$$ at potential Democratic VOTERS as they possibly could, then obfuscate the issue as long as possible whilst keeping up the flow of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Seems to be working JUST FINE.

Yeah. I won’t argue with that. We have pretty much reached the tipping point. The government doesn’t even verify benefit claims for the ‘downtrodden’ if they seem a likely Democrat voter.

The nation would benefit greatly from a REAL shutdown and while we’re at it default on ALL obligations.

This, then, would finally bring our corrupt and evil central socialist government to its knees.

Perhaps the bloated states’ bureaucracy would get a wake up call.

We’re Americans, we’re pissed off and we’re NOT going to take it any more, so clean out your desks and get out of town.

Oh, I forgot one thing. We need a marshal.

“Senator Coburn pointed out that this fund is scheduled to go bankrupt in 18 months...”

Our friends on the left call this “fear mongering.”

Cloward-Piven.

Cloward and Piven could have accelerated the implementation of their strategy if they had sold it to lawyers and corrupt bureaucrats as a get-rich-quick scheme.

Hasn’t it occurred to the left that every government “insurance” scheme eventually collapses in bankruptcy? Sometimes over and over again?

a few billion here - a few billion there - pretty soon,you're talking real money. Wanna guess how much $ will be ‘redistributed’ through the gov’t health care systeM?

quote - IRS knowingly sends .... IRS is sending $4.2 billion per year to illegal immigrants as an “additional child tax credit” for children who don't even live in the U.S. - unquote

ANd now they are intent on controlling health insurance monies - which is another 20% of our economy.

What could possibly go wrong?

(And why is no one reporting the truth - that this ‘act’ has just enough to do with health care to smoke screen the real agenda: TOTAL CONTROL of every aspect of our lives?

A Social Security Disability Office on the border of Kentucky and Huntington, W. Virginia, is at the center of federal investigations into the activities of SSD supervisors who turned over huge numbers of cases in order to boost their own bonuses.

This outright looting of the fund points to the excesses of the government unions. They've set up a system where you get bonuses for either giving money away, or in the case of the IRS, collecting as much as possible from the taxpayers.

The bonuses encourage employees to work for themselves rather than to improve the service the agency is supposed to provide.

“Long past time to thin out and eliminate half of this monstrous behemoth that aid and abet a criminal occupying the White Hut and his 1,000 person WH staff and the staff that fills up all Congressrat offices.”

Over the past 25 years corporate America has gone through waves of downsizing in order to become efficient and globally competitive while government has become bloated with layers of bureaucracy and red tape. In the private sector downsizing forces the organization to be efficient by dropping unnecessary tasks and eliminating layers of administrative management that delay decision making.

In turnaround situations it is not uncommon for a new CEO to permanently eliminate 10% of management positions during the first week in order to cut expenses and reorient the remaining employees to working more effectively and efficiently. Productivity gains are normally experienced as employees focus on the critical mission, eliminate unnecessary tasks, and deliver results faster.

The federal agencies in Washington have become so bloated they could use a 25% immediate reduction in headcount. A skillful CEO, appointed to head an agency and empowered by Congress to improve performance, would review the numerous activities the agency is performing and eliminate those not supporting or conforming to the primary mission. Eliminate completely the departments or work groups that don’t support the mission. Eliminate the outside contractor work, and grants to nonprofits, that exist purely as a political payoff. Take out layers of staff to make the headquarters function lean and responsive of the activities in the field.

The sequester should be accomplishing the same result but are not because community organizers and political hacks are implementing it plus the cuts are not deep enough.

Anyone who got cash fraudulently should do jail time. None of this “community service” bilge. Obama has the most corrupt administration in history, quite a feat after the Clintoons.
