THE ABSOLUTELY FUNNIEST JOKE EVER PLAYED ON US
What was the reason given for developing the Department of Energy during the Carter administration?
We have spent multi billions of dollars in support of this agency and I am willing to bet not one person who reads this will remember the reason given. It was very simple.
THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY WAS INSTITUTED TO LESSEN OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL.
NOTE: IN 2008 THE BUDGET FOR THIS DEPARTMENT IS NOW AT 24.2 BILLION A YEAR. THEY HAVE 16000 FEDERAL EMPLOYEES AND APPROXIMATE 100,000 CONTRACT EMPLOYEES.
So did it work?
Maybe it should be gotten rid of?
A billion here , a billion there, pretty soon you're talking some real money.
