Back in the day, 1984, an independent council was formed to identify waste in Government. The Grace commission came up with 2,478 ways to reduce federal waste, to the tune of $424 billion over a three-year period.
Nothing substantal ever became of it because in the words of Peter Grace, ” I didn’t realize what a bunch of shits Congressmen are. I thought all we’d have to do was point to where savings could be made, and then they would be glad to do something to stop the waste.” He thinks they won’t change until voters demand it.
Seems like not much changes and the tumor keeps growing.
