DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY:
Linden liked the email received so much that he decided to share it with you and to have no other parts to this posting other than Bible Study.
Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert. Congress said, "Someone may steal from it at night." So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job. Then Congress said, "How does the watchman do his job without instruction?" So they created a planning department and hired two people, one person to write the instructions, and one person to do time studies. Then Congress said, "How will we know the night watchman is doing the tasks correctly?" So they created a Quality Control Department and hired two people. One to do the studies and one to write the reports. Then Congress said, "How are these people going to get paid?" So they created the following positions, a time keeper, and a payroll officer, then hired two people. Then Congress said, "Who will be accountable for all of these people?"So they created an administrative section and hired three people, an Administrative Officer, Assistant Administrative Officer and a Legal Secretary.
Then Congress said, "We have had this command operation for one Year And we are $18,000 over budget, we must cutback overall cost." So they laid off the night watchman.
NOW slowly let it sink in.Quietly, we go like sheep to slaughter.
Does anybody remember 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 08-04-1977.
TO LESSEN OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL!!
Hey, pretty efficient, huh???
AND, NOW, ITS 2009 -- 32 YEARS LATER -- AND THE BUDGET FOR THIS "NECESSARY" DEPARTMENT IS AT $24.2 BILLION A YEAR. THEY HAVE 16,000 FEDERAL EMPLOYEES AND APPROXIMATELY 100,000 CONTRACT EMPLOYEES; AND, LOOK AT THE JOB THEY HAVE DONE!
THIS IS WHERE YOU SLAP YOUR FOREHEAD AND SAY, "WHAT WAS I THINKING?"
Ah, yes -- good ole bureaucracy. And, NOW, we are going to turn the banking system, HEALTH CARE and The auto industry over to the same Government?

2 CORINTHIANS 1:12 – 2:11
Paul writes to express his sorrow for any misunderstanding and to state his belief in future service.
