I haven't read a lot of it but I'm going to try and finish on my flight tomorrow. Nothing better than spending eight hours reading about government waste.

People being inefficient and wasting money is a fact of life. Get used to it IMHO. You could come out with a book like this for every single budget on the planet, from 16 yr old johnny who just got his first job sacking groceries, to the biggest fortune 500 company, and anyone in between.

This is just another one of those cases where people are wowed by large numbers and can't really see the numbers in context. The federal budget is what, like 3 trillion dollars? and people are gonna get their panties in a wad because 17 billion was "pork"? Because yeah that extra 0.5% would have made some massive difference.

Sorry for the rant bud, I'm sure it's an interesting read. I just hate how people tend to make a mountain out of a molehill when it comes to EVERYTHING nowadays.
