Government’s Conscious Effort To Avoid Accountability

 

Maybe P.J. O’Rourke was onto something when he said “its a popular delusion that Government wastes vast amounts of money through inefficiency and sloth. No, enormous effort and elaborate planning are required to waste this much money”.

Government Pays a $4.8M Performance Bonus For a Billion $ Screw Up

 

The Federal Government implemented a pay system for $309 Million, $400 million has been spent trying to fix it, as much as another $300 million is going to be needed to repair this system responsible for overpayments of $256 million of dollars. But don’t worry, those responsible for this catastrophe got paid  $4,827,913. in performance bonuses!

The disastrous Phoenix pay system was supposed to fix over-payment of $250 million to federal employees – it made it worse – and will now cost almost $1 billion to fix. The kicker? The bonuses paid to the managers overseeing the project.

The difference in Gross Domestic Product per person between totalitarian versus Democratic countries is dramatic. Cuba $450 vs Mexico $3610. Or how about Hungary @ $3550 vs Austria @ $23,510. The list goes on, but the really big surprise is that only 30% of Americans born after 1980 think its essential to live in a Democratic country!!!!
