Someone on another site posted - The Energy Department was created in the 1970's with the only purpose: reduce America's dependence on foreign oil. Well, that dependence has gone up over the years (big time), but the Energy Department of the Federal Government now has 16,000 employees and 100,000 contract employees.
I’ve not verified the body count, but WTF? |
We have the Energy Dept. AND we have the EPA. So what the Cap'n'Trade is 'supposed' to do has been the charge of 2 other Federal Agencies for decades-----------AND BILLIONS! EPA has made meager progress, and Energy has done SHINOLA in 30 years and a few hundred billions. Yet if Cap'n'Trade goes into effect, the 2 duplicating and useless agencies will remain on the tax burden.
Plan?? Plan?? We doan need no steenking plan!!
