Big Government

Big government is growing larger under the President of Change. The stimulus money has now made it to state road projects and so has big government. At a recent meeting of a stimulus funded construction project, seven employees of the Federal Department of Labor attended. The spokesperson for the group announced to the contractor that he will follow a 16 step plan in order in comply with federal labor rules. From what I remember Moses only needed 10 commandments for the nation of Israel and President Woodrow Wilson only had 14 points to end World War I. The Department of Labor 16 steps does not include the rules the Federal Highway Department will impose on the contractors. On all highway projects that have stimulus money the contractor must display a newly designed Federal sign, so the public can see where some of their tax dollars are going. With Federal dollars come Federal strings. But from what I'm told the Federal Government does not earn any money at all, it all comes from the taxpayers.

So as you drive down the highway and see those road crews out there repairing the road, just remember all the Federal inspectors, staffers, and bureaucrats that it takes to make all this happen. I just wonder how this was ever done before we had all this change and we as taxpayers were left with pocket change.
