In August of 1977, The Department of Energy was instituted to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. Thirty one years later, the budget for this federal agency is 24.2 Billion dollars per year.

With 16,000 permanent employees and roughly 100,000 contract employees, have they gotten us any closer to their stated objective? Are we seriously considering turning Health Care, the Banking System & the Auto Industry over to them?

We should consider with great care that for which we ask, because in a representative republic, we will get it.
