I get a few American orientated emails..I'll share for those who haven't seen them.

Does  anybody out there 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 on

8-04-1977 
TO  LESSEN OUR DEPENDENCE

ON  FOREIGN OIL.

Hey,  pretty efficient, huh?????


ANDNOW IT  ' S 2011,

34 YEARS  LATER....

AND THE  BUDGET FOR THIS

NECESSARY  DEPARTMENT

IS  AT

$24..2  BILLION A YEAR

IT  HAS

16,000

FEDERAL  EMPLOYEES

AND  APPROXIMATELY

100,000

CONTRACT  EMPLOYEES

AND LOOK  AT THE JOB IT HAS DONE!

THIS IS  WHERE YOU

SLAP YOUR  FOREHEAD AND SAY

'WHAT  WAS I THINKING? '

Ah, yes,  good old bureaucracy...

And  NOW _ we are going to turn

The  Banking System, Health Care  &

The Auto Industry over to  government

ALL  IN THE NAME OF CHANGE?



May  God Help Us !!!
