Question

As a taxpayer, do you feel your government is allocating its resources wisely? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Oh h**l no.  With all the pork stuffed into every bill that is passed, we're throwing money bridges to no where every day.

Answer 2

HAHAHA.... man.. sorry had to get that out of the way. Government spending is horrendously unchecked and unsupervised. I have worked with government contracts, military members and with many government agencies.... I have learned that anything the government touches is poorly mismanaged and has so much overhead it makes it painfully inefficient. Sometimes I literally feel depressed knowing how my tax dollars are being spent.

Answer 3

that's funny. do you know how many agencies there are that serve absolutely no purpose whatsoever bu that use billions of dollars in resources. The agencies that are purposeful have too many "chiefs".. their is a boss to the boss to the boss to the boss..if you get my point and that is a waste of tax payer money.

Most of the government agencies we have can be mixed with another, still get the same thing accomplished and save money.

We have enough resources that we could pay everyone/do everything for 5 years without paying anymore taxes IF the govt would use it like they need to use it but instead it's wasted.  

Answer 4

Pork spending, see Citizens Against Public Waste CAGW.org. and you will see we have paid for the most ridiculous things ever to special interest groups.  My favorite is the Tea Pot Museum, look it up (Carolina).
