I don&#x27;t think the problem is big spending.  It&#x27;s their&#x27;s not much oversight on how the money is spent.<p>I worked at a federal park, and every year employees would damage equipment, and throw it into a dumpster.  Why, so they could get money to buy new equipment the following year.<p>My county is loaded with professional grant writers.  You would be amazed at what a 501C3, and a well written paragraph will get an organization.  I would list off some rediculious examples, but afraid I might expose my identity, or hurt low level employees who don&#x27;t benefit from these grants.<p>I still think about those two companies, one was Dick Cheney&#x27;s former stomping ground, who literally got more money, the more they spent.  It was an open ended contract?
All they needed to show was receipts, and they were paid?<p>So, I expect the government to spend tax money, but not throw it away.<p>I am no angel, but in the last two decades I see a complete lack of morality in too many people.  It&#x27;s almost like, &quot;Hay, it&#x27;s not illegial, so I feel fine doing it!&quot;   Maybe it&#x27;s always been there, and I was naieve?
