How about this! The feds...bureaucrats...have embarked on a "study" of a "study" about "studies". A three bagger for sure.

Not only is this a total boondoggle but the GAO..General Accounting Office, concluded the material from the "studies" was not readily retrievable, they didn't know how many staff...bureaucrats...were tasked to do the "study" of the "study" about "studies" or how much the "stud(y)..ies" cost taxpayers.

So, while Barack Hussein O'Bomber is reducing the size of US military forces, reducing the size and strength of our naval fleet.....(this is the cue for leftist to break out cheering)....O'Bomber is not reducing the civilian work force...bureaucrats...at the Pentagon...or anywhere else.

O'Bomber must instinctively know there are more "studies" on "studies" about "studies" which must be conducted or civilization, as we know it, will implode!

This Is Not a Joke:
Government Issues Study of a Study About Studies
Alyssa Newcomb

The Pentagon was inundated with so many studies in 2010 that it commissioned a study to determine how much it cost to produce all those studies.

Now the Government Accountability Office has reviewed the Pentagon’s study and concluded in a report this week that it’s a flop.

The study of a study of studies began in 2010 when Defense Secretary Robert Gates complained that his department was “awash in taskings for reports and studies.” He wanted to know how much they cost.

Two years later, the Pentagon review is still continuing, which prompted Congress to ask the GAO to look over the Pentagon’s shoulder. What they found lacked military precision.

The GAO found only nine studies that had been scrutinized by the Pentagon review, but the military was unable to “readily retrieve documentation” for six of the reports.

The Department of Defense’s “approach is not fully consistent with relevant cost estimating best practices and cost accounting standards,” the GAO concluded. In fact, they often did not include items like manpower, the report found.

The Pentagon “partially concurs” with the GAO’s report.

The cost of the study of the study of the studies was not available from the GAO.

while obama is the president, and therefore it is called "his" administration, neither gates nor congress could be called obama in any way shape or form.

can we spot the difference here or is ODS at work again?

The year 2010 WAS during the O'Bomber administration. Everyone in the Executive Branch of government works for Barack Hussein O'Bomber. Those are facts katatonic.

Republicans did not set up these useless studies and the Tea Party had nothing to do with them either. Nothing whatsoever.

Of course the Congress has oversight responsibility on how the US government is spending taxpayer money and the General Accounting Office is taxed with riding herd on federal agencies...bureaucrats...which spend taxpayer money. The GAO concluded this bureaucrat boondoggle was a complete bust. Further, the information from the supposed reports couldn't be retrieved.

The right thing for voters to do...is send those tax and spend-spend-spend idiots home for good...and I mean all of them.

Strange as this may seem to you katatonic, Republican primary voters..in the coming election and in the 2010 election did involuntarily retire some of those very people...and made it very clear to others they would not win their primaries...and they quit voluntarily.

many of those states that were treated to tea party candidates are having at LEAST as much buyers' remorse as those who voted for them...in other words, not a lot of people BOTHERED in 2010. lesson learned!

so, since NO ONE else is splitting the vote on this recall, the odds are pretty good that his "triumph" will be short-lived.

when i try to actually DISCUSS anything with you you run away to your "important things to do" or call me impossible and worse. so i no longer bother. the fact that you think people you disagree with are by definition lacking in morals says VOLUMES about YOU, not me.

it was someone else who described your mode of contribution as passive aggressive, not I.

Can you back up that ludicrous statement with any facts?
