Your Government at Work

You do NOT need to look very far to find evidence of government excess:

For example:

Pages of documents submitted during the past several months by Goldman Sachs to the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission: 2.5 billion.

Number of days federal investigators have been given to review all the documents before issuing its final report: 209. (Source: Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission.)

Number of prison inmates who received tax credits under the first-time homebuyer program: 1,295.

Number of these prison inmates serving life sentences: 241. (Source: Department of the Treasury.)

That is all.
