Do you 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 August 4, 1977 to LESSEN OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL.
Now, it’s 2008, 31 years later, and the budget for the Department of Energy is $24.2 BILLION a year, they have 16,000 Federal employees plus approximately 100,000 contract employees and look at the job they’ve done!
THIS IS WHERE YOU SLAP YOUR FOREHEAD AND SAY 'WHAT WAS I THINKING?'
Ah yes, good old bureaucracy. Now we are going to turn the banking system, the housing industry and the automobile industry over to them?
