Kudos for Rep. Joe Barton for exposing these filthy pigs for the incompetent losers they really are.
There is not a government agency that does not need a serious haircut.
However, I believe the persons most responsible for the size of the government vehicle fleet are the congresscritters who have domestic auto manufacturing within their district.
GSA buys alot of these vehicles as pork and pushes them out to agencies. The congresscritters often provide a list of vehicles (usually those they can’t sell) to government agencies to “order”.
Much of it is good old fashioned pork.
Meanwhile, departments that aren’t so politically-correct, like the Forest Service, are forced to make do with 15-20 year old vehicles that they ACTUALLY use, that barely run, because of budget problems.
The whole system is upside down.
Dept of Energy —their mission is to LESSEN US dependence on foreign sources of energy.
Since their founding under Jimmy Carter, is the situation any better...?
Just fire them all.
It is time to ABOLISH the DOE.
The DOE should be fired on the spot.
The DOE is probably the single worst example of, "If you want people to think you really, really care about an issue, create a cabinet-level department for it." With the accompanying 11 or 12 figure budget.
We don’t need a DOE
I wish they’d give me a paltry sum . Or a sultry palm.
The ONLY thing DOE does good is manage the SPR...Worked there 11 years. Rest of it can kiss my A**.
