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 2009, 32 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 ole bureaucracy..




And NOW we are going to turn the Banking System, health care & the Auto Industry over to them?



God Help Us !!!

As Ronald Reagan said, "a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this Earth."

The anti-NRA crowd ridicules them for fighting against ANY anti-gun legislation. Yet history has proven, over and over and over again, that Washington will stretch any inch it's givin' by the voters into a light year.

Man, the constitutional conservatives really need to find an effective spokesperson.
