Examples of Government Waste

That is terrible to have wasted so much money.

I, we, can birddog them.
Vote their corrupt 20 years in Wash out.

That's all we can do.
Buckle down, support Obama's efforts, and vote out the career politicians.

Hi cosmo/Gary!!

I was actually using the term bonus as sarcasm.
I will call them bribes.

Yes it is winx, but this is not about Bush. Its not about any one President.
This has been going on for years.

Hi Fanta, I see your talking about Larry-Jo-Mamma again...

Yes, it has. I was even remembering expensive toilet seats from way back.

Okay - bribes/under the table. I don't see how we can stop them unless they're caught in the act.

the only problem I have with lowest bid contracts is that you get the lowest quality work with em

Im intrested!
Why do you call him that?

And $500 hammers!

well, i think the 3.5 trillion dollars trumps $500 for a hammer any day.

Quiet,

Do you really think that it means it would always be the lowest bid?
When I take bids from contractors for my house, I don't take the lowest or the highest.

This is the paragraph that catches me eye.

Obama will say that his administration will stop outsourcing to private contractors many services that should be performed by government employees. He also pledged to open contracts to small businesses and eliminate "unnecessary" no-bid contracts that allow preferred contractors to take assignments even though they might not be the least expensive option.

Any politician who has association with a Contractor who seems to win most of the Gov. contracts should be investigated, if only to clear them.
If they aren't corrupt, they won't mind having investigators audit their bank accounts and other holdings to see if there have been illegal or suspect transfers made to them by said Contractor or middlemen/lobbyist.

Yes, winning most of the Gov. contracts could be a red flag.

Shall we send think2deep and The Winxter on a date?

hehe


I bet that would go almost as well as me going out with Fanta hahah


Of course, it goes without saying that anyone who enjoyed the company of The Winxter would be a lucky person indeed.

Not really.
Not when you consider they buy 5 million hammers a year.
And this is just one item and one consideration!

When I was in the service we had our own cooks. Did you know that now they sub-contract the soldiers meals?
How much does that cost?

There are many ways and many programs that are now budgeted where we can trim the fat.
Other ways than the 1.1 % spent to help those less fortunate!

Actually his real name is Berry Soetoro a/k/a Obama made fames by Larry the male prostitute, also gained notworthiness by never qualifing to run for president, and after the computer voted him in, he never took the othe of office...


Now that you really do have a userper and Thief running your country, your actually talking about ways to trim the budget to save money ???


Yah, and I guess a bandade might have saved the Titanic Too...

we both agree that $500 for a hammer is quite excessive, but ask yourself why they keep doing it. it would be pretty safe to say that all of the senators and congressmen know this is happening. i've heard about this phenomenon since i was a child. why have they not fixed this problem in the 39 years i have been alive? why is it that we just keep hearing about it happening? if it's a bad thing and it just keeps happening even when they know about it, there must be something in it for everyone who knows about it and is not stopping it. this would suggest that more people in our government is benefiting from it. that will be a hard thing to stop.
