It is Tea Time

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
By then President Carter, who is now the second worst President ever for our country

TO LESSEN OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL.

Hey, pretty efficient, huh?????


NOW IT'S 2012, 35 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?
