It isn't working, so add more government...

Nowhere in industry would such an approach be successful or even tried. "We have an inefficient organization, and they aren't getting it done, so we are going to pay for an oversight council to provide guidance."

How about fixing the organizations you have? Set incentives properly and they will drive to those incentives.

The problem is the next year's incentive is last year's budget +, nothing else matters.

    That SUDDEN Realization that from Englands perspective... Our found fathers were TRAITORS and committing INSURRECTION...

    And methinks the current FEAR of this happening again is quite real for the Treasonous Leaders!

    Me dino just acquired a mental picture with audio of empty-headed Kackling Kamala cackling in the chair she is chairing.
    Oops, now she progresses to mouth word salad that always makes no sense except to her senile boss.
    If she did that while waving her arms around like Piglosi, she'd really be one horrific freak show.
    Once again my envisioned Kackling Kamala circles back to cackle some more, some more, some more.
    Me dino needs those ear protectors I take to the range when enduring living nightmare visions with fright night audio such as this.

    Well, with Heels-Up Harris in charge, everything will work out just fine, right?
    I mean, what could go wrong?

    Just went to his concert! It was only his originals - no parodies - and was fantastic. My brother-in-law also won Weird Al Jeopardy!

    To me, there is a very simple way to fix all the budget issues: you constrain the spending to be 5% LESS than the total revenues of the year two prior to the current one, meaning that you are constrained to never spend more than was actually received in revenues in the past. And this MUST include debt payments.

    The House of Representatives has continually shown itself to be incapable of controlling itself regarding spending. Thus we must impose on them regulations.

    Now I would advocate that we impose this AFTER the coming meltdown and default, since its too late now. The system is going to come crashing down - that is now inevitable.

    Well said.

    My little brother is the Chief Mechanical Engineer at NASA KSC, and laments the organization and lack of proper incentives all the time.

    I would counter that our slipping in technology compared to the rest of the world. In this case China and Russia. Has more to do with no longer promoting based on merit. I mean look at NASA. Space X can run rings around them. And has. They’re drawing from the same talent pool. So what could the difference possibly be?

    I don't feel bad about that barrier. Maybe we should get Weird Al to do a parody of "Amazing Grace", to "Amazing Waste"

    The tail has been wagging the dog for 162 years.
    The choice is: Lose the tail or lose the entire body.
    Excise the cancerous traitors and remove all laws that do not comply to the original constitution and the first ten amendments.
    The con-gress will not do this. They are corrupt, complicit in the destruction of America and have a conflict of interest.
    The bureaucracy will not do this because they are corrupt and have a conflict of interest.
    The judiciary will not do this. They are corrupt and have a conflict of interest.
    The military leadership will not do this. They are corrupt and have a conflict of interest.
    The executive branch will not do this. They are corrupt and have a conflict of interest.
    The state governments will not do this. They are corrupt and have a conflict of interest.

    Only the People can win back their individual liberty, as they did in 1776.

    Sorry, Thor, but I just couldn't finish the article. I got as far as the "...to be chaired by Kamala Harris" and choked. Doomed to failure before the ink on the bill is dry. We people do have to realize it probably increases government power over the private sector and will create a bunch of cushy high paying jobs for more unnamed bureaucrats, which will be covered by raising taxes or printing more money, so hey, it just might pass.
