Wasting our money

As if we needed another reason: The TSA’s audit shows that it wasted more than $300,000,000 in the run up to take over the screening of the nations airports. This amid reports that Private Screeners Do a better Job than their Government Employee Counterparts.

So why do we have the TSA in the first place? That $5 Billion Dollar (plus) should buy something! They do not increase security in an airplane, and manage to waste your money with remarkable skill. The TSA is like any other governmental agency. They exist to spend your money and to gain more power. Who benefits from their existence? Not you, not me. Them. (Bless their hearts)

So what do we do? Do we continually vest more and more power to a government that will either: Spend your money and take your freedom because they are evil? Or Spend your money and take your freedom because they love you and want to protect you?

Either way: We are the poorer for it.
