Quietly,, We Go Like Sheep To Slaughter

Absolutely...The funniest joke ever...

AND IT’S ON US ! 

Let it sink in.

Quietly... we go like sheep to slaughter.

Does anybody out there have any memory

Of the reason given for the establishment

Of the

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

During the Carter Administration?

• Anybody?
• Anything?
• No?
• Didn't think so!

Bottom line ...

We've spent several hundred billion dollars

In support of an agency ...the reason

For which not one person who reads

This  can remember.  Ready???????

It was very simple ..

And at the time everybody thought

 It very appropriate...

The

'Department of Energy'

Was instituted on

8-04-1977 
TO LESSEN OUR DEPENDENCE

ON FOREIGN OIL.

Hey, pretty efficient, huh?????


AND NOW IT'S 2010, 

33 YEARS LATER ...

AND THE BUDGET FOR THIS

NECESSARY DEPARTMENT

IS AT

$24.2 BILLION A YEAR

 IT HAS

16,000

FEDERAL EMPLOYEES

AND APPROXIMATELY

100,000

CONTRACT EMPLOYEES

AND LOOK AT THE JOB IT HAS DONE!

THIS IS WHERE YOU

SLAP YOUR FOREHEAD AND SAY

'WHAT WAS I THINKING?'

Ah, yes, good old bureaucracy...

And NOW_ we are going to turn

The Banking System, Health Care &

The Auto Industry over to government 

ALL IN THE NAME OF CHANGE?

May God Help Us !!!
