Government IS the problem not the solution to our problems. We all know the drill people will complain and rant but NO ONE will do anything. No, people are angry but are waiting for someone to do something, to speak out, march whatever. What is not understood for those in the waiting or too occupied, with Desperate Housewives, Jersey Shore, big ball game this week, working on the yard, is that someone you’re waiting for is YOU!

There are no Jack Bauer’s, Jedi Knight’s, Lone Ranger’s, Abraham Lincoln’s or George Washington’s coming to the rescue America. You’re waiting for someone or something to turn this country around IS NEVER coming. By the time you get fully motivated and had enough to finally step up it WILL BE TOO LATE.

GSA Again Under Fire, Now Over Video Spoof

By John Parkinson/ Jake Tapper ABC News
The same government agency already under fire for wasteful spending at a Las Vegas conference is under further scrutiny today for a newly discovered video featuring a U.S. General Services Administration employee joking about excess government spending.

The video features a GSA employee, identified as Hank Terlaje, playing the ukulele to the tune of Travie McCoy & Bruno Mars’ “I Wanna Be a Billionaire,” and rapping about what life would be like were he to become the GSA administrator, or in his parlance “Commissioner.” Among his promises, ironically, is that the agency would “never be under OIG investigation.”

“Obama better prepare, when I’m Commissioner,” he croons. “I’d have a road show like [Acting Regional GSA Administrator Jeffrey] Neely, every time you see me rolling on 20s yeah, in my GOV. Spend BA 61 all on fun. ATF can’t touch GS-15 guns! Cause I buy everything your field office can’t afford. Every GS-5 would get a top hat award. Donate my vacation, love to the nation, I’ll never be under OIG investigation.”

Terlaje, who is an employee of the Hawaiian office of the GSA, won first prize for the creative project and was named honorary GSA commissioner for the day.

The House committee on Oversight and Government Reform circulated the video, which was uncovered by an investigation by GSA’s Inspector General.

Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, was blistering in his attack on the GSA and the Obama administration.

“It takes a lot of work to spend $3,000 a person and at a time when unemployment was nearly 10 percent, Americans were suffering and GSA was enjoying the good times and doing so with high-ranking political employees,” Issa said. “This administration knew about this 11 months ago and they didn’t act until the press got wind of it. This is typically what has been happening in this administration. They are only transparent when they are discovered.” …. Read More
