Again, you say there was a waist of 30% of the money. I am assuming you are just making generalities and don't actually know anything more about the specifics of the relevant transactions than what is revealed in the article. I am most certainly not arguing that the feds (why are you so hooked on the feds? I was just quoting the article) are efficient money distributors. I would suggest that sometimes, even with its inherent inefficiencies, govt. gets it right and when it does it should be applauded. Again, is that so hard to agree to?

My point all along is that they are not efficient money distributers. If they have all this extra money to give out then lower my taxes and leave it at the state level which is more efficient. The 30% that gets eating away at the federal level is probably low and its probably more around 30 to 40%.

Fryday afternoon I opend a bill from the federal goverment for 14 cents. That envelop had a 23 cent postage. Now I have to write a check for .14 and use a .44 cent stamp to pay that bill. I'm guessin it will probably cost the goverment another $10 to process that payment. I guess obama does not want one penny unpaid. He probably needs the money so he can fly here today.
