Right -there is a lot of redundancy and mismanagement in US agencies and bureaucracy. The system is awash in money and presupposes that throwing money at problems is the answer to everything.

Voters and politicians have become inured to the whole process. Politicians demand and get more money all the time... and incessantly tell us that even THAT is insufficient.

Nothing will take the place of streamlining the system and cutting away the waste and abject fraud. Because in fact, any system routinely demanding and getting SO much cash is by definition, fraudulent.

Every politician gets votes by promising more and more. Even after the “O” 8 year spending spree, people STILL whine about THEIR share and the absence of opportunities for THEM. Seriously??

I say-taxpayers got mugged and if YOU still need help … go find the people that guy hired to take my money away from me on YOUR behalf. I don't have any more.

I can’t get over the fact that we give the CDC $8 billion a year to keep a handle on what should be a fairly straightforward statistical function.

And they were an EPIC FAIL. And after the EPIC FAIL they apparently LIED to Alex Azar about the EPIC FAIL until Trump kicked someone’s ass.

That is sadly just how government bureaucracies go about their business day-to-day. This is a real teachable moment for conservatism.

I have read more than a few articles in the last few months, in which everyone of them say there are still 30 million uninsured Americans? What? we reordered the country's health care system to get those 30 million covered, had to wreck my insurance of 25 years to have the same uninsured as when we started the overhauling 10 years ago?

They are freaking liars, everyone of them.

Good summation of the state of our government.

There is never enough money to satisfy the government’s voracious appetite for spending.
