\"\"<\/a>You don’t have to look far for examples of the ineptitude of the American Government. They waste billions and billions of dollars each year, but somehow, we’re supposed to believe they’ll do better with health care?<\/p>\n

Hardly. It’s not even a challenge to find examples of waste and mismanagement in our government. And it would be irresponsible for citizens to believe they’ll do anything different when they’re in charge of our health care. In addition to the massive amount of money our government will waste, they will simply do a bad job with health care. Sorry, but I trust my current doctor more than I trust the system. <\/p>\n

Here’s the latest example of waste, abuse, and ineptitude in our federal government<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The Census Bureau wasted millions of dollars in preparation for its 2010 population count, including thousands of temporary employees who picked up $300 checks without performing work and others who overbilled for travel costs.<\/p>\n

Federal investigators caution the excessive charges could multiply once the $15 billion headcount begins in earnest next month unless the agency imposes tighter spending controls, according to excerpts of a forthcoming audit obtained by The Associated Press.<\/p>\n

On a positive note, investigators backed the Census Bureau’s decision to spend $133 million on its advertising campaign, saying it was appropriate to boost public awareness. The spending included a $2.5 million Super Bowl spot that some Republicans had criticized as wasteful.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah! Investigators thought wasting $133 million of taxpayer money on advertising for the Census was a good idea…. and that included some of the most expensive advertising possible. Awesome…<\/p>\n

Here’s more waste and nonsense:<\/p>\n
