10 Examples Of The Extreme Incompetence That Now Pervades The Federal Government
Submitted by Michael Snyder of The End of the American Dream blog,
There has always been a substantial level of incompetence at federal agencies, but under the Obama administration incompetence has risen to unprecedented levels. This year the incompetence of the Secret Service, the Veterans Administration, the Department of Homeland Security and the CDC have all made national headlines. And it is hard to forget how the launch of Obamacare was such a failure that it became a global joke. We live at a time when our government officials can’t seem to do anything right. When Americans complain about the government, most of the time they focus on how corrupt and wicked our politicians have become, and that should not be downplayed whatsoever. But just replacing those politicians is not going to fix what ails our government. The quality of the workers throughout the government bureaucracy has fallen so dramatically that our federal agencies can no longer be depended upon to perform even the most basic governmental functions competently. The following are 10 examples of the extreme incompetence that now pervades the federal government…
#1 The Secret Service
Once upon a time, the Secret Service was considered to be one of the finest security organizations in the entire world. But these days, they seem to be too busy partying and chasing prostitutes around to do their jobs properly.
For instance, multiple intruders have recently been able to cross the White House lawn and walk right into the White House without being stopped by anyone. Here is just one example…
An intruder made his way across the White House lawn and through the building almost to the Obama living quarters before being stopped by a Secret Service officer who was off duty: This chilling news is more than just a kind of melodramatic movie scenario come true.
Next to the military, the Secret Service is probably the most highly regarded institution within the executive branch. Or it was.
Now we learn its agents can’t catch a guy running across the White House lawn; can’t stop the guy at the front door; can’t get to him before he gets to the stairs that lead to the rooms where the president’s daughters sleep.
#2 The Obamacare Website
The launch of Obamacare overall has been a complete and total disaster, but the launch of the Obamacare website in particular was such a dramatic failure that it is hard to put into words. The Obama administration spent more than 2 billion dollars on healthcare.gov and trumpeted it as the future of healthcare in America, but the website was a technical nightmare. The following is how one news outlet described it…
Healthcare.gov has shutdown, crapped out, stalled, and mis-loaded so consistently that its track record for failure is challenged only by Congress.
#3 Dropping Weapons To ISIS Terrorists
It is well known that ISIS is using captured U.S. vehicles and weapons to take over vast stretches of territory in Iraq and Syria.
So what do we do? U.S. planes drop even more weapons into the region to aid in “the fight against ISIS”, but ISIS is ending up with many of those weapons too…
At least one bundle of U.S. weapons airdropped in Syria appears to have fallen into the hands of ISIS, a dangerous misfire in the American mission to speed aid to Kurdish forces making their stand in Kobani.
An ISIS-associated YouTube account posted a new video online Tuesday entitled, “Weapons and munitions dropped by American planes and landed in the areas controlled by the Islamic State in Kobani.” The video was also posted on the Twitter account of “a3maq news,” which acts as an unofficial media arm of ISIS. The outfit has previously posted videos of ISIS fighters firing American made Howitzer cannons and seizing marijuana fields in Syria.
ISIS had broadly advertised its acquisition of a broad range of U.S.-made weaponsduring its rampage across Iraq. ISIS videos have showed its fighters driving U.S. tanks, MRAPs, Humvees.
There are unconfirmed reports ISIS has stolen three fighter planes from Iraqi bases it conquered.
#4 The Immigration Crisis
The Obama administration has refused to secure our borders and has openly encouraged mass illegal immigration from Central and South America.
As a result, our border patrol is absolutely overwhelmed. Tens of thousands of women and children are turning themselves over to border patrol agents and asking for asylum. They expect to be taken care of and given a new life in this country. As a result, “processing centers” along our southern border are packed to the gills with women and children living in absolutely deplorable conditions as the federal government figures out what to do with them.
#5 The VA Scandal
Under the Obama administration, military veterans have been treated like human garbage. For years they have been denied the care that they need, and many Americans were absolutely shocked when they learned that countless veterans have died waiting to get an appointment at one of our VA facilities. Needless to say, this scandal has greatly shaken the confidence that the public has in the Veterans Administration…
The Veterans Administration was viewed favorably by 68 percent of those polled last year. But it too has since been swept up in a scandal over long wait times for veterans seeking care and records that were falsified to camouflage the problems. In the CBS poll, just 30 percent rated the VA as doing a good job.
#6 The SEC
Many wonder why the SEC never seems to go after the big Wall Street banks. Well, perhaps one of the reasons is because many SEC employees have been too busy watching porn all day long…
One senior attorney at SEC headquarters in Washington spent up to eight hours a day accessing Internet porn, according to the report, which has yet to be released. When he filled all the space on his government computer with pornographic images, he downloaded more to CDs and DVDs that accumulated in boxes in his offices.
An SEC accountant attempted to access porn websites 1,800 times in a two-week period and had 600 pornographic images on her computer hard drive.
Another SEC accountant used his SEC-issued computer to upload his own sexually explicit videos onto porn websites he joined.
And another SEC accountant attempted to access porn sites 16,000 times in a single month.
#7 The Environmental Protection Agency
You know that things are bad at your agency when employees have to be told not to poop in the hallways…
It appears, however, that a regional office has reached a new low: Management for Region 8 in Denver, Colo., wrote an email earlier this year to all staff in the area pleading with them to stop inappropriate bathroom behavior, including defecating in the hallway.
In the email, obtained by Government Executive, Deputy Regional Administrator Howard Cantor mentioned “several incidents” in the building, including clogging the toilets with paper towels and “an individual placing feces in the hallway” outside the restroom.
Confounded by what to make of this occurrence, EPA management “consulted” with workplace violence “national expert” John Nicoletti, who said that hallway feces is in fact a health and safety risk. He added the behavior was “very dangerous” and the individuals responsible would “probably escalate” their actions.
And just like the SEC, there has been a lot of porn watching going on at the EPA too. The following is from a recent Washington Post article…
In May, the Environmental Protection Agency’s inspector general disclosed that a senior-level employee was caught spending as much as six hours of his day looking at porn. The IG found that the employee had downloaded and viewed more than 7,000 pornographic files. The Justice Department is investigating further for possible prosecution.
Four months later, the employee has not been fired and is still collecting government pay, Environment & Energy Publishing reported last week.
That prompted Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) to introduce a bill the day Congress left town to make it a uniform federal government law that employees cannot look at porn at work.
#8 NASA
Generally, NASA has been regarded as one of the more competent government agencies. That is why it is so alarming that a rocket recently exploded just before liftoff at a NASA facility in Virginia…
An unmanned commercial rocket headed for the International Space Station to deliver supplies exploded just after launching Tuesday, filling the sky with a massive fireball.
The Antares rocket supplied by contractor Orbital Sciences blew up moments after liftoff at NASA’s space launch facility on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, the space agency said.
The explosion destroyed the rocket and spacecraft and immediately raised questions about the future of NASA’s reliance on private commercial ventures to carry vital payloads into space to supply and support the orbiting space station.
#9 The Federal Reserve
The Federal is NOT a government agency, but it claims such a close relationship with the government that I have added it to this list.
Since the Federal Reserve was initially created, the U.S. dollar has become more than 20 times less valuable, and the U.S. national debt has gotten more than 5000 times larger.
More recently, the Federal Reserve’s quantitative easing program has been an unmitigated failure. The Federal Reserve created 3.5 trillion dollars out of thin air and pumped it into the financial system, but all of that money has done next to nothing for the real economy. The percentage of Americans that are employed is about the same as it was during the depths of the last recession, the homeownership rate in this country has been falling for seven years in a row, and half of all Americans now make less than $28,031 a year.
#10 Ebola
This is the one area where the incompetence of the federal government could be the most dangerous. Originally we were told by the CDC that Ebola could only be spread by “direct contact” with the bodily fluids of someone else. But now we have learned that the government believes that Ebola is “aerostable“, and we have also learned that researchers have discovered that Ebola can remain on surfaces for up to 50 days. If Ebola does start spreading widely in this country, giving people bad information could accelerate the spread of the disease.
And Barack Obama continues to refuse to ban all non-essential air travel between the United States and the nations in West Africa where Ebola is raging out of control.
As far as Obama is concerned, incompetence is the best case scenario. There is absolutely no excuse for not protecting the American people from what could become the greatest health crisis that any of us have ever seen. If a major Ebola pandemic does erupt in this country, the blood of countless numbers of Americans could potentially be on his hands.

ill reserve my sympathies for that degenerate, he should be hung not paraded as as hero at a gold investors conference.
...All of these things have this in common:
They are all signs of General Societal Decay(GSD)and therefore NOT specific to the Obama Administration, though Obama may be speeding the decay algorithm by his actions.
Whether GSD advances to end stage terminal disease remains to be seen as the algorithm that maximizes it is in constant flux and generally competes over generations with the algorithm in direct competition with it which is General Societal Advance (GSA).
Ok yes.
I just made this whole theory up.
Two thoughts:
1. This isn't a "Caption Contest"?
2. Who do I have to blow to eliminate the ad with the Pumpkin Lipped Hosebag? Creepy?!?! Yeah, just a little!!!
If you don't have a snaggletooth, you can blow me.
Sorry, can't help you with pumpkin lips. (that's gotta be photoshop)
It's a good list, I might quibble on the ordering, could also add Benghazi, troop pullout from Iraq, Fast and Furious, voter intimidation in Philadelphia back in 2008, well hell Obama's running for office without presenting anything like proof of citizenship or academics, a trillion bucks a year to public employee unions, Solyndra, even forcing through Obamacare on a single-party basis is one of the crudest political moves in American history, one could go on all day with these jerks, maybe not all Obama's fault - big one is the repeal of Glass-Steagall a few years ago, how did that work out again, and what has changed since then?????
how bout the dude at the gov. that should have screened his birth certificate, properly ..... one simple action could have prevented alot of pain n sufferin
From the Satanists perspective it all has been a success except for Ebola maybe, not enough deaths but Obama has promised more airborne Ebola after the elections. And they don't have to depend solely on Ebola.
Is that regular porn or the NSA stuff?
freak
I only ask because if any of them clicked on ol Pelosi. We best shoot them now! just sayin
Am I Rip Van Winkle? What ever happened to good ol' ISIL? Ukraine? Pakistan/India.... warm fuzzies, or cold pricklies???
What if JPNINC mutates and becomes highly contagious before the onset of symptons???!
Asymptomatic Intergalactic, Japanatastic Superpalastic, Inflationary Poweratracty?*
*I'm available on weekends for pool parties, Baaah Mitsphi(sp?), but not weddings and shit....
The media cloaking device has hidden the horrendous overseas disasters If people were allowed the truth we'd have had impeachment already.
So, "Baaah Mitsphi(sp?)" , that's the pl rigt?
fuck government abolish everything.
yepyep
Listen.
What have we got here? A coupla anarchists?
10?
Couldn't find....say, 13????
Bullish on total collapse!
Why is the Fed #9?
I suspected all along we had monkeys working in the govt but EPA employees flinging feces in the hallways just confirms it.
Listen Markar.
Please already. Enough of the insults.
How come the most serious problem with the Federal government is not included ? I mean the problem of Obumpma's adminstration being hijacked by dual citizens who imposed disasterous foreign policy, provoking Russia unnecesssarily and destroying EU economy, pushing the world towards WW3.
As has been already mentioned, in Obama's defense, he IS our first affirmative action president. I certainly would never avail myself of the services of a Negro "professional" in any area. Justice Thomas complained about it also, because he was always being seen as someone who was unqualified, hired only for his skin color.
As long as AA exists (and long after) one can never know if a Negro is qualified for its position.
AA - bad for blacks, bad for everyone.
"With patience, you can sit down upon the rivrebank and watch as, eventually, the bodies of your enemies come floating by".
Be careful about wishing for an end to AA because as the white population falls below majority level, Caucasians will one day be the group that benefits the most from it.
#11 - The mainstream media (Bloomberg, CNBC, ...) have gone full retards

It is not incompetence. It is willful destruction of America, Americans and the dollar. It is profitable depopulation. It is humanity at it's worst. Have the balls to call a spade, a spade.
Listen.
He's 'merican, the balls have been chemically altered by his masters. But listen, his masters are just squeezing every last drop of juice out so they can build Greater Israel, then America becomes Haiti.
STD's and radionuclides make bad.
Don''t forget Waco Texas, letting Israel get off without "sanctions" after USS Liberty was attacked by Israeli planes, the botched investigation and cover up of 9-11, letting the Saudi's fly out when no one else was allowed in the air.
Giving Obama phones to homeless so .gov can GPS track them.
Making poverty a crime so homeless can' find a place to sleep.
Taxing people on incomes while working and living elsewhere.
Making people pledge an allegience using 'Nation under God' when God has nothing to do with the BS they get involved in and forcing atheists to compromise their beliefs.
Throwing more people in jail than any other country in the world.
Stealing cash if you happen to carry too much of your own money around.
Bye bye USA government, who needs you? General Motors, Jamie Dimon, Corzine, Blackwater, Spooks, Police armament suppliers, Swat Teams, Health Care Insurance companies, that's who needs .gov, the rest of the people could get along very well without DC.
forcing atheists to compromise their beliefs.
Listen Picker.
It's not a crime to hate Israel-merica, yet. FBI is working on it, scumbags.
OK NASA??? really? That's not really the Admin, or government either as private industry just had an incident as well.
BUT... several others come to mind that were not mentioned. Youtube and Benghazi? Fast and Furious? AP press and phone records scandal? The IRS?
Some times ... I wonder.
"And it is hard to forget how the launch of Obamacare was such a failure that it became a global joke."
since I've become very, very suspicious of the modern American-English vocabulary, I'll premit that I understand here "global" as "world-wide"
and no, I disagree. A joke? Of course, news of the intitial problems did spread all over the world. But they were mostly... expected, since the changes are quite substantial
no, I'd say that the world's opinion on ObamaCare is not about jokes, it's more wonder about the complexity. As a reminder, most of the world has much simpler healthcare setups, ranging from none to simple "single payer" systems like the British NHS, often with a private "side offering"
the outlierers in the world are Switzerland and now the USA, with the Swiss system being much simpler then ObamaCare, and now just being the second most complex in the world, and the second most expensive
the real big question is if ObamaCare will reduce the costs of the most expensive healthcare system of the world
but this is an issue so fraught with politics to become nearly impossible to have a good oversight. nearly everybody reporting on that has a political and/or lobbyist axe to grind
lobbyists, as a reminder, love complexity. sometimes it's the best avenue for them in order to disfranchise voters and make a buck in the process
Listen.
"the real big question is if ObamaCare will reduce the costs of the most expensive healthcare system of the world"
Jesus are you naive.
Obamacare is the .gov racket that skims off the top of healthcare. It's going to supplement the bankrupt social security liabilities.
Reduce costs? Are you daft man? Wake the fuck up and stop posting comments until you have a reasonable well formed opinion you jerk-off.
Who is skimming off the top? http://www.healthcare-now.org/health-insurance-ceo-pay-skyrockets-in-2013
Its not "Obamacare" Chordius, it is "LobbyistCare". Being from Europe you probably didn't watch the whole thing unfold. Here is exactly what happened: Obama, meaning well (and I truly belive that, although I am no democrat), sat down with his advisors and asked "How can we get more people who can't get health insurance some form of coverage". So, they sat down with health insurance industry lobbyists, and hand over to them everything they asked for: Across the board, wild increaes in costs, at least 10% out of pocket for every medical test (blood test, CT scan, xray...), huge increases in deductibles and ... a mandate, just like car insurance. So, some family like mine, who paid a few hundred dollars a year out of pocket in year 2000 or 2002, NOW pay over 10,000 dollars a year out of pocket. And we have a 'high deductible" plan which means we have to pay ANOTHER 3,500.00 out of pocket before any benefits kick in. And the whole thing is shrouded in 10,000 page government regulations, so we don't see who is really making the money.
Redd you gave me a great laugh this AM::: to wit...
"Obama, meaning well (and I truly belive that, although I am no democrat), "
you are here posting with eyes wide shut,
Don't pay it. The "law" is unlawful.
Ghordius, the purpose was never, ever to 'reduce costs'. Ever. The purpose was to increase access AT ANY COST. The purpose was to let the health insurance company lobbyists get whatever the hell they wanted in return for providing policies to some people who could not get insurance before, either because they were sick already, or their employers didn't provide insurance. That is the crux of the issues.
Fuck off Snyder, this is pure misdirection.
"Hallway feces is in fact a health and safety risk"
Well, you learn something new every day!
my dad used to say "Only fuckups and incompetants work for the government"-though as a private businessman-he had his share of dishonest traits
All the complaints about incompetence, stupidity, patronage hiring, the revolving tilt-a-whirl between Wall Street and CONgress, Jewish control of every financial nexus in the world, every single thing that illustrates the overturning of government by, for and of the people, now in the hands of Jewish Elite, is captured under one seemingly impossibly intractable rubric that women have known about since Eve flashed Adam: SIZE MATTERS!
THE ONLY SOLUTION TO ALL OF OUR PROBLEMS no matter what they are, how many there are, how complex they appear to be------if Solutions are actually the goal, and not the perpetuation of problems, conundrums, and dilemnae-----is the same solution that any complex problem yields to,
breaking the problem up into manageable pieces.
You want a responsibe Federal Government? Then break up the United States into manageable regions, the size of each to be determined by a random bunch of squiggly lines to replace the extant borders of each state. e.g. Why shouldn't Montana Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, and other like minded people in those states unify under one 'nation' with its own form of government which would likely remain Democratic republicanism? Why shouldn't Jew Nersey and Jew Nork be one nation? Why shouldn't South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi be one nation?? Why shouldn't ANY state with 10% of the population, like Californica, be a Nation???
None. No reason in the world UNLESS the elite do not want to lose their strangle hold on nearly all the power, money and ability to print it?
There is no problem with managing the US, it is private money, dirty PAC and Lobby money all over the us political toilet that is the big problem. Get rid of that, and you'll see some positive changes. First order of business: raid the Koch's and toss them into the ocean.
You are dead wrong. NO amount of campaign finance reform is going to solve the problem of a leviathan Federal whale that interferes with the 10th amendment to make it almost useless.
The Koch's are no more responsible for the mess than are all the Jewish Wall Street contributors to the Democratic party, to the point now that they run CFTC, the FED for nearly 38 years and counting, and the greatest beneficiaries of all the quadrillions printed since 2008 when they should all be living under a box for their fraudulent packaging of nonperforming mortgage loans, and the explosive derivatives concocted to magnify the power to atomic bomb proportions.
And you partisans who tout one family over all the others, are a huge part of the problem.
But you have no problem with Gates or Soros or Hollywood money right?
Suffered a TBI recently? My sympathies.
+1... whomever down voted you is a commie troll of the TBTF USSA shadow Gov...
I know. They are poor students of rhetoric and debate, attempting to divert, obfuscate, and NEVER answer the question.
What would have been so wrong if Lincoln, the despotic bastard had been killed in 1861 allowing the south to secede.
Many of today's monopolistic control by D.C. would never have gotten a chance to exist, and the FED would be a sheet of toilet paper flooding down into the sewers of a DC swamp. And with that, Jewish control of the government.
Listen.
Are you a true believer in Unicorns too? Who the fuck is going to do the breaking up? The invisible USSA Sheeple Army?
Stop with the grand theory's! Substance matters, this is The Hedge! Iraq and the Levant had Saddam, he got it and instituted policies that maintained control.
The USSA and Israel had to fuck that up because Israel wants to create "Greater Israel". Those two countries need to be severely punished. NOW!
No you listen, short of the "grand theory" there is ZERO (hedge) solution... Only a constant grind to Venezuala like conditions or worse...
There are attempts to secede aborning and while none have succeeded, yet, as in Scotland remaining in the UK, nearly 45% of the people want an independent existence, with treaties, agreements, trade, and other mechanisms of government negotiated with like and opposite minded other countries.
It is only the top 10% who understand the loss of power they would experience, and therefore do all in their power to turn back. Just as did the North under Lincoln.
Wecome to Qualitative Easing
Under Obama its reached unprecedented levels? Bullshit. Bull shit. Im no fan of obama, but Im more against this partisan bullshit that is trying to convince us that one party or the other is going to save us. This horse crap is right out of a sleazy Koch funded Brietbart article Go sell this crap to people on the Human Events web site. They'll believe anything.
Not no republican either, but if you cannot see the sheer "in your face" and willful incompetence of obama, then you are an idiot...
Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush .. go back as far as you want. TELL me that one group is more or less incompetent than any other. I dare you.
There is a site in Denver that was a superfund site..the EPA sued for over 20 years..now they are moving dirt and doing a development on it....alls it took was 20 years of lawyers fees to clean it up....the actual ground was never touched by the laywers....funny how that makes it all Okay in a lawyers mind..just a piece of paper...that superfund had billions of dollars for cleanup..it all went to the white shirts....
this is a genuinely stupid article.
Government incompetence is the same all over the world... even in Cambodia.

Anecdote about healthcare:
The other day I got an insurance report for a recent injury. The reimbursement $ sent to the hospital and doctor to pay for the services rendered, in a trauma unit no less, was about $200.00. A dozen or more people were involved, including the trauma surgeons. $200.00??????
For all that work the insurance company only sent the amount of money that couldn't buy a used Ipad 4 on E-bay.
The system even for the well-insured isn't real world, it's some kind of perverted fantasy that cannot measure the value of services received that any child could figure out in about 2 minutes. Why?
Last night I received notice my health care cost were jumping to $1,365 from $1,065. The year before $934 and the year before that and prior to Obamacare they were at only $750 a month. While I have not used the policy once or even visited a doctor. and I have no healthcare issues they site increased cost as the reason. I should mention I have a $5,000 deductible policy meaning this is not great coverage!
Just because we can preform or do some kind of medical procedure does not mean we should, healthcare is like a tape worm ever ready and always wanting to grow larger. More on why healthcare is so expensive in the article below. http://brucewilds.blogspot.com/2013/05/healthcare-going-forward.html
I'm certain that if a lot more posted their own experiences with the health insurance, health care, and medical emergency systems in this country, the variety of them in early identical circumstances would render any meaningful decision to fix them utterly useless one off 'policies'.
Here's only two widely different ones. So Brucewild is right some of the time as are the previous two, right some of the time.
The medical community now falls under that infamous, notorious, horrifically flawed, "Too Big Too Fail", catchall for systems that cannot be fixed, only get more expensive and simultaneously cheat all who participate in them EXCEPT the Executives.
That's then where it should start. Assassination of the Executives who have proven incapable of doing anything but self-enrichment. These black-eyed bean counters need to be replaced by empty chairs.
Let's re-visit immigration... and a couple of other items...
http://www.windtaskforce.org/profiles/blog/show?id=4401701%3ABlogPost%3A...
Larry Summers was working for Bill Clinton at the time Mexico was broke. Congress would not ok a loan. So Larry Summers worked his magic and gave them a loan by other means. Then he and Rubin charged high high interest rates, so Mexicans mortgages for houses, farms and vehicles went through the roof.This caused a massive influx of Mexicans to America for work. Alan Greenspan , in his memoirs praised Summers and Rubin for the good work they did with Mexico. Summers was in line to take Ben Bernacke's place as head of the Federal Reserve but democrats would not have it.
The large number of government programs that have failed to carry out their duties and the dim view many Americans have towards Washington may be starting to take its toll on those who think big government is the answer. The Democratic Party has long been thought of as the party of "big government" filled with believers that government can solve and is the answer to curing many of our woes.
Sadly cost and reality are quickly beginning to show the flaws in this theory, government is far better at providing access of citizens and good at passing popular laws, but the private sector tends to be more efficient and better at controlling costs. More on the flaw in the concept of big government in the article below.
http://brucewilds.blogspot.com/2013/11/flaws-in-big-government-concept.h...
as a long time former federal worker, I can tell you that race-based affirmative action is in large part responsible for this incompetence.
As a former government contractor I can tell you that government employee eclipses race as a marker for incompetence.
So much negativity about Govt. waste and incompetence.
People pay good money to see a demolition derby, picking sides and rooting for their favorites, having a hot dog and a beer...
Just learn to relax and sit back and watch the show.
You already are paying the entry fee.
The EPA must be in charge of the bathrooms...
The only good government is a gone government.

You fuckers forget about that. Good luck integrating the next generation of drone drivers into useful society after all those paper cuts.
Incompetence and arrogance: a dangerous combination.
On the lighter side: a caption for the photo "who farted?"

As the pay goes up, so does the incompetence (and outright corruption!!!). Hmmm, can we draw a parallel here?
Also, please let's not stop with the Feds. This obscenity permiates ALL levels of .gov.
it's NOT incompetence....... it's TREASON
OPEN SUPPORT OF THE MUZZIE BROHOOD, ISIS and Al Queda
importing Ebola
open borders allowing 10-15% of other than mexican to cross into the ussa
immigrant surge promoted by the white hosue
Obama considers himself king of the ussa and president of the world.... but the world laughs and mocks...
Seems like the chaos implementation is going quite well.
Nothing but a rousing success!

#8 NASA
Are you fucking kidding me? Do you think that sending a rocket to space is easy? Much less, a rocket that will separate from its boosters and fuel cells, releasing a contained apparatus that docks with the international space station via computer controlled course correctional boosts, sinking its 4 inch wide docking hook into a 4 inch wide locking mechanism. This may come as a shock to a lot of you, but aeronautical engineering is not easy and mankind's expansion into space comes with very real, inherent risks.
The funding that NASA currently receives is LESS than one cent of every tax dollar. They've been underfunded for decades. It is easy to say that they're incompetent when you're scientifically illiterate. It is also easy to get a bunch of other scientifically illiterate people to agree with you when you say, "their rocket blew up! They must not know what they're doing!" Give me a fucking break. Its horse shit like this that is going to cause them to lose even more funding...but why does NASA need funding, and why do we need NASA? I mean, yeah, they gave us significant advancements in rocketry and computer hardware...but who cares about that? And certainly nothing on this list
http://spinoff.nasa.gov/Spinoff2008/tech_benefits.html
has ever benefited anyone.
Your argument regarding NASA is hollow and completely lacking any backing. You are wholly unqualified to offer an opinion on their efficacy, and spreading this kind of garbage is shameful. If we lose NASA, it will be the final nail in the coffin for American intellectualism and scientific advancement. And if the ignorant and the scientifically illiterate (or worse still the science deniers) amongst us are allowed a say in the future of an organization whose pursuits and daily operations are completely beyond their intellectual grasp, we will lose them.
