Obviously our government hasn’t made a serious dent in controlling waste including on the defense contracting front where many times this amount is being outright stolen or assets incrementally pilfered by free-booting contractors both large and small. The VA is another disaster concerning waste and pilferage.

So why should any sane person think that by our government creating some newer massive legislation it’s going to improve anything other than provide more tax-debtor monies to end up the same; ie., stolen without any chance of recovery.

The last I heard this bill is now in excess of 2700 pages and possibly still growing towards the final vote. This bill needs to go down and down hard. Prudent legislators need to drag this revenue constricting ‘snake’ out behind the woodshed and chop its head off before its too late.

The same needs to be for every legislator that can be booted to the curb in November and then again in 2012 along with this failed, jive-turkey President that snookered a nation with his marginal to unfulfilled campaign trail
promises.

Note: I read about one month ago that Medicare waste was now at the 40 billion mark per annum. Evidently our President doesn’t know the correct figure or inadvertently blabbed the horrible truth; ie., 100 billion…ouch!
