I received the following e-mail from a reader recently:
As the U.S. Government gets ready to institute a new AGENCY to be the watchdog over the banking industry, one should reflect on the creation of the Department of Energy!
Funniest joke ever…….ON US!!!
|
Absolutely the funniest joke ever…….ON US!!!
- Let it sink in.
- Quietly we go like sheep to slaughter.
Does anybody out there have any memory of 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
8- 04-1977
TO LESSEN OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL.
Hey, pretty efficient, huh?????
AND NOW IT’S 2009,
32 YEARS LATER …
AND THE BUDGET FOR THIS
-
- NECESSARY DEPARTMENT IS AT$24.2 BILLION A YEAR
- IT HAS 16,000 FEDERAL EMPLOYEES AND APPROXIMATELY
-
- 100,000 CONTRACT EMPLOYEES
- AND LOOK AT THE JOB IT HAS 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 & the Auto Industry over to them?
God Help Us

This was my reply:
Why does anybody think that the Government is the solution to almost anything? Government is not the solution to our current problem, Government IS THE PROBLEM!
Do you know that although the law AGAINST oil and gas exploration, “the ban”, was let sunset as per written in the legislation a few months ago, so now it is legal to explore and drill for oil and gas, the Obama administration is not allowing leases to be sold to the oil exploration companies, on land nor sea!
This IS the reason that the price of crude is around or near $70/barrel. INSANITY! ! ! ! The price of crude would be between $25.00 and $35.00 per barrel RIGHT NOW if the tyrants would let our oil companies and free markets do their thing.
The $70.00/barrel crude price is now GREATLY impacting our economy, businesses, jobs and general cost of living for every single family in America. It is also impacting the stock market which would be another 500 – 1000 points higher in the DOW if it wasn’t for the oppressive impact of our unnecessarily high energy costs destroying our lives right now. If people had any idea what Obama and his Secretary of The Interior Salzar was doing to each one of us “personally”, as a result of not simply selling the oil exploration leases, we would all be rising up in the streets, right now; Tea Party fashion but by the hundreds of thousands like Iran.
The cost of crude has and will continue to cause not only the high price of gasoline and diesel, but all products produced and sold to the American public. This Government action of refusing the sale of leases will cause a great deteriorating impact on our individual lives and finances, due to the impact on the cost of all energy products. |
