I wonder sometimes if it just can't be simplified more. I admit I don't know a lot about this subject, there are many sides to a story and I appreciate the views expressed through this forum.

I served for 10 years as a government contracting officer. Tax dollars are being wasted by the government agencies at an a pace that is unbelievable. Unfortunately the fraud in the federal government is of very little concern to our elected officials regardless of party. Clean up most of the corruption in government spending and in my experienced opinion, taxes to citizens could be REDUCED dramatically.
