Examining the TSA. Why Government Fails at Everything
By Jason Stapleton –  May 16, 2016

*** begin quote ***

If you’ve been watching the news recently, you’ve not doubt seen the long lines of travelers waiting hours to pass through TSA checkpoints. According to a recent article, more than 4,000 people have missed flights due to delays caused by the TSA.

So why does TSA do such a poor job at its primary function? Simply put, because it’s government.

It turns out the TSA his a top-heavy, bureaucratic, administrative nightmare. The do everything poorly. The recruit poorly, they train poorly, and they perform poorly.

And what do we get for our long lines and humorless security providers? Not much it turns out. When the TSA did its own internal audit recently over 97% of the contraband made it through TSA screenings.

The answer is simple.

End the TSA.

We can NOT afford “security theater”.

The Gooferment allows: chicken raised and frozen in the USA; transported to China; butchered and refrozen; transported back to the USA for sale — without any labeling.

AND, it’s cheaper than chicken that never leaves the country?

Also, all the embedded protectionism in the State and Federal Gooferment and Big Agra.

Argh!

The little guys and “We, The Sheeple” can’t win. We are at the mercy of the Gooferment!

So sad. 

But why can’t we have the same technology that parking lots use on the entrance ramps?

Seems so simple to me?

Kinda hard to drive the wrong way with four flats.

It’s couldn’t possibly cost that much to save many lives and a lot of near misses.

Argh!

If a parking lot can afford it, surely “we” can too?

Wait until you hear the new rules the IRS is set to impose on a wide variety of organizations in September 2016 if all goes as planned. For example, forbidden “electioneering” will include so much as the mention of a candidate’s name on a website. We get into the details in this episode.

The IRS is a corrupt criminal organization that’s greedy for power over “We, The Sheeple”.

Remember Lois Lerner. You should you’re maying her ever month for “her service”. 

Who she was working for is in doubt, but one thing is for sure is that it was NOT the Taxpayer.

Argh!

Here Tom exposes another over reach!

Drug Companies Siphon Tax Dollars for Dangerous, Useless, Overpriced Drugs

As if it wasn’t enough that you pay with your health for the drug industry’s lackadaisical approach to side effects — both by their downplaying the risk of death or serious injury in their ads, and by their filing adverse event reports that are useless for predicting risk to other patients — you also pay for their crimes with your tax dollars.

Sovaldi, a hepatitis C drug made by Gilead was under investigation for 18 months by the Senate Finance Committee. In the end, the Committee decided that the price of the drug — $1,000 per pill, or $84,000 per treatment — “did not reflect the cost of research and development and that Gilead cared about ‘revenue’ not ‘affordability and accessibility,’” the Epoch Times writes.

In 2014 alone, Medicare and Medicaid shelled out more than $5 BILLION for Sovaldi and another hepatitis C drug called Harvoni.

Writing for the New York Times, columnist Nicholas Kristof notes that in the year 2015, the drug industry “spent $272,000 in campaign donations per member of Congress … to bar the government from bargaining for drug prices in Medicare. That amounts to a $50 billion annual gift to pharmaceutical companies.”

Sorry but this is what you get when the Gooferment picks winners and losers.

Unfortunately, when folks pay for their own medical care. it may hurt in the pocketbook, but the bills get careful scrutiny.

Waste, fraud, and abuse are REGULARLY reported in Gooferment “programs”. None more wasteful than “medicine”. I remember reading an article that asserted a huge percentage of “medical spending” in Florida was due to FRAUD.

Sigh!

The only way to cure that is to incentivize the patients to spend wisely. How can we do that? Make them pay 1%. Ever seen seniors look at an early bird special dinner check? Vultures would admire their attention to detail. 

Argh!

Doubt it will ever happen. Seniors vote!

Obama administration enacts protections for lions
Published December 21, 2015  Associated Press

*** begin quote ***

WASHINGTON –  The Obama administration says it’s extending Endangered Species Act protections to two breeds of African lions.

The listings will be announced Monday and include an order that appears to touch on circumstances surrounding the killing of a well-known lion named Cecil earlier this year. 

*** end quote ***

Yeah, with all the problems that the USA has, this was important to do?

How does that improve the world?

Don’t get me wrong. I think shooting Cecil was immoral. If you’re going to go kill a lion to prove you’re a “man”, then do it like the Zulu “boys” have to do it — alone, with a short eighteen inch spear, and a small shield made of reeds. Then, you’re a man … … or lunch for the lion! Shooting the poor dumb thing — although lions are regarded amount the Zulu and Masai as cunning and smart — from 500 yards with a precision rifle is hardly an indication of manhood. I have read that these “hunters” don’t even carry their own rifles. Having humped awhile on practice hike in the military with a light scout rifle, toting a heaving big caliber hunting rifle around on a lion “hunt” would make for a early night. 

Argh!

But back to BHO44 and the Gooferment. It’s just dumb and a waste of ink.

Sigh!

Atlas Shrugging

*** begin quote ***

Tailpipe exhaust emissions standards are just one example of real-world government demands that have become unreasonable – and which led VW to shrug.

Reasonable would be a requirement that 95 percent of a vehicle’s exhaust stream be free of noxious-to-health gasses. VW – and everyone else – met that standard about ten years ago.

It’s not enough.

It is never enough.

The demands always escalate.

Now 97 percent must be free of noxious-to-health gasses. And then 98 percent. When that bar is reached, they will insist upon zero emissions.

*** end quote ***

Gooferment is immoral, ineffective, and inefficient. As well as untrustworthy.

And, here’s a great demonstration of it developing a regulatory agency with a life of it’s own with a mission to crush the evil Capitalist empire.

Seems like “We, The Sheeple” better reign this nonsense in while we can still buy an auto.

Argh!

The Story of Two Buses
By Gary North
December 14, 2015

*** begin quote ***

That’s how it works.

Both systems use buses to take the students to school. But the colors are different.

In prison, prisoners sell illegal drugs. Students do the same in school. In prison the food is terrible. It’s not very good in school – possibly prepared by the same food service company. In prison, there are constant inspections. Guards keep taking roll to make sure everyone is present and accounted for. Teachers do the same in school. In prison, you aren’t allowed to leave without permission. The same is true in school. In prison, bullies run the show. In school, they do, too. But there is a difference. Prison buses are white. School buses are yellow.

This is too extreme. The systems are different. Criminals are convicted in a court of law before they are sent to jail. Students, in contrast, are innocent. Some prisoners can get parole. The average term in prison for murder is under ten years. Students are put into the school system for twelve years. There is no parole.

Be thankful if you are not in one of those buses, either white or yellow.

*** end quote ***

This reminds me of “I, pencil”. 

Read the entire story and put yourself in the place of the child being forced to the Gooferment reeducation / propaganda camp!

Scary.

When the evil Commies did it, that was BAD. When “our” Gooferment does it, that’s different.

Remember the purpose of Gooferment Skrules: cannon fodder for the Army, willing morons for the factories, and useful idiots to vote for and be led by the elite! Where do the Presidents send their children? Certainly NOT to Gooferment Skrules!

Drivers License And Social Security Number, Please
by eric • December 9, 2015 • 27 Comments

*** begin quote ***

Maybe you remember when Social Security numbers were “not to be used for purposes of identification.” It actually said so, right there on the card.

Well, it used to.

So much for that. As usual, per the frog in the ever-warming pot of water, we do not notice the change until it is too late to change anything.

Our SS number is now the de facto – and in a very real sense, the de jure – national ID. De facto, because it’s almost impossible to transact any business without one. De jure, because the law increasingly does require it for purposes of identification, even though the original law said it never would be used for such purposes.

*** and ***

In other words, the SSN is now officially being used for purposes of identification – just as they (the authors of Social Security, all those years ago) swore up and down it never would be. It was only going to be a government social insurance program, to keep old folks from shivering and starving in the winter. Never to be the basis for a nationwide cattle-cataloging system.

Surprise, surprise.

They lied.

Again.

*** end quote ***

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

I think I have to add a new element to my mantra “Gooferment is immoral, ineffective, and inefficient!”

It’s “untrustworthy”. The Gooferment, politicians, and bureaucrats all lie.

(The recent Tom Woods’ show on Hamilton demonstrated that the Federalist said what ever was needed to get the Constitution adopted and then did what the wanted any way.)

Argh!
