 Agree, and what are we lacking in the current government programs 
that we need more of? If the Govt. was serious about getting the debt 
under control it would become mean and lean like a corporation that 
is failing.  Get a budget, 3and1/2 years without one, and put a hiring freeze  on until the debt is paid down.
According to an article in USA today Fed Govt retirement plans are almost
as costly and are falling short almost as much as Social Security is falling .
 Last year they paid our 168 Billion in pensions.
 Farm out what they can to the private sector and let them pay the benefits and pensions.
