Once upon a time the government had a vast  scrap yard in the middle of a desert. Congress said, "Someone may steal from it at night."   So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job.

Then  Congress said, "How does the watchman do his job without instruction?" So they created a planning department and  hired two people, one person to write the instructions, and one person to do time studies.

Then Congress  said, "How will we know the night watchman is doing  the tasks  correctly?" So they created a Quality Control department and hired two people. One to do the studies and one to write  the reports.

Then Congress said, "How are these  people going to get paid?"  So They created two more positions: a time keeper and a payroll officer, then hired two people.

Then Congress said, "Who will be accountable for all of these people?" So they created an administrative section and hired three people, an Administrative Officer, Assistant Administrative Officer, and a Legal Secretary.

Then Congress said, "We  have had this command in operation for one year and we are  $918,000 over budget, we must cut back."
So they laid off the night watchman.

NOW slowly, let it sink in.

Quietly, the good American people go like sheep to their slaughter.

Does anybody remember the reason given for  the establishment of the DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY..... during the  Carter Administration?

Anybody?   No?
 
Didn't  think so!

Bottom line. We've spent several hundred  billion dollars in support of an agency. . . the reason for which no one reading this can remember!

Ready??

 

The  Department of Energy was instituted on 8/04/1977,
TO LESSEN OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL.

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!
 
In 1977, 33 years ago, the Department of Energy was created,

30% of our oil consumption was foreign imports.  Today 70% of our oil consumption is foreign imports.

NOW WE HAVE ALLOWED THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO TAKE OVER THE BANKING SYSTEM, THE AUTO INDUSTRY, AND THE  HEALTH CARE OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.   AND COUNTLESS OBAMA CZARS  (SIMILAR TO SOVIET COMMISSARS) HAVE BEEN CREATED TO CONTROL EVERY ASPECT OF OUR LIVES.

ARE YOU CONCERNED?    
THEN PASS THIS ON !
 
And remember on November 2nd to take out the trash!
