Government Waste, Run your Government like a business...

... instead of like a monopoly or dictatorship. Every part of the government from the Federal down to the city government has a budget and they make sure to spend every dollar on the budget so they can show how they need to keep their budget for the next year the same or more than last year. If the have an excess at the end of the fiscal year, they go out and spend every dime so they can show why they need the same or more next year.
How can we allow it to happen and we wonder why it keeps increasing year after year. For instance if a certain branch of the FAA has a surplus, they write grants and send checks to small airports so they can show deficit to the people and the government. They will get the money back after they have closed out the year since the money does not have an alotted request for the grant and that is done in all braches of the government. So if we stand up and get together with our government officials to say no more, we want stand for it.
In the same breath I must give a big thank you to Upson County, GA Government because they cut the county budget and gave back to the Upson county taxpayers 2.3 or 3.2 million to save their taxpayers in their county. Great job Upson County and may every other county do the same. If so, how many millions of dollars would we save and how much would it give back or save our taxpayers who are actually the ones paying for these government tricks that goes on every fiscal year end. Contact your City, County, state and Federal elected officials and make them look into this in their offices and let's show them we have had enough. This is my opion and I welcome yours.
