I mentioned on another thread that having an outside source do investigations on all government spending..why not they do it to us (IRS)
Godfather.
in canada we have an auditor general ... the current one is retiring soon ... she was good ... for the most part, they have the autonomy to report objectively ...
as for the topic ... i would agree with the OP in that gov't spending is highly inefficient ... part of that is just the bureaucracy but a lot of it is intentional ... like i keep preaching - the corporatization of gov't is the problem ... having said that - you can be sure that the programs to be cut when there is no money will be things like education and other social programs but the corporations will still get their money ...
Right on about the corporatization of gov't. I just saw on CNBC this morning that Muhtar Kent, CEO of Coke, wants a closer relationship between gov't and businesses.
It is sad that during a budget crisis, that those most dependent on the gov't are the ones who get their benefits cut. I'm all for reducing most welfare programs, but that should be after we are out of this mess. They should be the last ones who should be paying for the mistakes of our incompetent politicians.
