This is what we get for having such a bloated govt. workforce.

But it still pisses me off. I wonder what will be the final straw that causes to people to revolt?

Fred Thompson says we should investigate? Typical response from a guy who is leaving the Senate to draw a pension paid for by us for the rest of his life. Too bad Ronald Reagan didn't follow through with his proposal of eliminating the Department of Education. No need to list all the federal government departments and agencies that should be eliminated. But if the waste, fraud and abuse were eliminated we could probably operate on half the size of the budget we are operating on now.
