AND THE JOKE IS ON US

(VIA YAHOO MAIL)

Does anybody remember the reason given for the establishment of the DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY? The Department of Energy was established by President Jimmy Carter August 04, 1977. We have spent billion$ of dollar$ in support of an agency the reason for which not one person who reads this can remember. The reason, are you ready? It was very simple, and at the time everybody thought it very appropriate.

The Department Of Energy was established to LESSON OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL. Pretty efficient huh?

Now it is 2008, 31 years later, the budget for this "necessary" department is $24.2 billion per year, they have 16,000 federal employees, and approximately 100, 000 contract employees and look at the job they have done. OK, here is where you slap your forehead and say "what were they thinking?"

And now they are going to turn the banking system over to them? God help us!

for what it's worth.
