I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THE FOLLOWING IS NOT THE LAW OF THE LAND.....IT IS OK TO FIND FRAUD, WASTE AND ABUSE AND REMOVE BUT WHAT IS THE FOLLOW ON TO PEVENT IT FROM REINFECTING. HOW TO INITIATE...VERY SIMPLY IMPLEMENT A '"ZERO BASED BUDGETING" PROCESS IN EACH DEPARTMENT, AGENCY, PROGRAM, OR GROUP THAT IS REQUESTING FUNDING, THAT MANDATES THAT EACH YEAR BEFORE THEY GET ONE CENT THEY MUST SHOW, BASED UPON SOLID EVIDENCE, THAT THEIR ACTIVITIES CONTRIBUTE TO THE EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE OPERATIONS OF THE PART OF GOVERNMENT THEY OVERSEE. A KEY PROBLEM IS THAT MOST OFTEN NOTHING IS EVER CANCELED THEY JUST THROW MORE MONEY AT IT, A KEY STRATEGY IS TO FLATTEN THE GOVERNMENT TO ELIMINATE MULTIPLE REDUNDANT LEVELS. ALSO ELIMINATE DEI HIRING AND TENURE FOR ALL EMPLOYEES AND ELIMINATE EMPLOYEE UNIONS. IT IS WHAT SMART BUSINESS DO AND AS WHAT SMART AND RESPONSIBLE PEOPLE AND FAMILIES DO. THIS WILL BE FOUGHT AGGRESSIVELY BY THE LEFT AND ALL THOSE WHO THRIVE IN THE WASTEFUL SPENDING WHILE THEY FILL THEIR RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS OFTEN CONTRIBUTING NOTHING TO THE COUNTRY.

Re Mr. Shadbrooks comment

If they do as you ask, and all departments and committees etc. have to defend their legitimacy frequently, don't forget to factor in all the hours it will take for them, and whomever adjudicates it, to complete the 'hearings'. Whirr go the calculators and photocopiers. Bureaucracy breeds only more bureaucracy, laws breed more laws. Finally, one person's interpretation of ' earning your bread for the common good' is not the same as another's. What's good on the books may not be good in the heart or health.
