With Americans burdened with high taxes, one would hope that the government they pay for would at least be used efficiently and wisely. These Top 10 Examples of Government Stupidity from around the country would suggest otherwise:
1. Sensitivity training: The Omaha, Neb., public school district spent $130,000 in federal stimulus money to buy manuals to instruct teachers and school administrators on how to be culturally sensitive.
Green car bust: The city of Salinas, Calif., invested more than $500,000 in Green Vehicles, an electric car venture that failed to produce a single car.

Call me skeptical, but an across the board 10% cut isn't going to do it....Well, that was 10 % per year. So you're sayin' projecting out in say ll years...?

“There is huge waste, maybe as much as 20%, that is hidden beneath the surface.”

I’m afraid the truth is that only a small portion of government spending results in anything even slightly positive in nature. There are whole departments, vast in scope, that are counterproductive in nature, meaning that we would be much better off if the whole department were eliminated, all assets sold off to pay debt and a pledge made never to resurrect the monster. Education is just one example.

“No wonder Pelosi spilled the beans when she said we have to read the healthcare bill to know what’s in it.”
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
When did she say that? What I heard her say was that “we have to PASS the bill so YOU can find out what’s in it”.

We should stop giving them a pass by saying they are stupid. In reality everything they do is EVIL. We send people to Washington who accumulate huge fortunes at our expense and then we say THEY are stupid? Those who vote for them are stupid!

This is very unfortunate. Because we can’t afford it. It is wasteful.
