And thus the reason the Fed Budget is out of control...


Look at this stupid caucus and multiply it by hundreds. Each one designed so that each member of congress can be in charge of a bunch of stuff so they can claim to their constituents how much they are doing for them. Then they have to create a crisis so they can be seen as out front doing something about the crisis.

Think about the cost of this stupid grandstanding. Staffers to write the bill, DoD having to spend resources to respond, the inevitable contract to a defense contractor to perform the required study (want to bet that the contractor that ends up with the award actually wrote the text of the amendment and gave it to the staffers to give to the congressman?), hearings to review the findings, the inevitable follow up investigation(s), some long term monitoring program that will continue to fund the congressman's buddy and likely the congressman after his term ends.

Now multiply that by hundreds as these corrupt POSs use this bogus crap to push money to their friends and benefactors.
