Holy Moly! Do you not understand how the govt system in this country works!
Sure. The father of some liberal arts major has a friend in some government agency, or maybe the father donated to a campaign and called in a favor to get his son a job at some government agency. Because they really didn't have to work to get their job, there's no reason for them to believe that they have to work for a living, that the government will just take care of them for the rest of their lives and all they have to do is show up and not screw up. The game becomes make yourself visible so you'll get a promotion so you can retire at maximum G-level, and then become a lobbyist so you can lobby whatever agency you just left. So you come up with all kinds of programs that should be voted on by elected officials where their vote would be recorded and therefore accountable, but you're not accountable to anyone. Programs like bio-fuel, carbon footprint, green frog protection subsidies and ten thousand other programs that cost us tax money that we can do absolutely nothing about. I think I have a pretty good understanding of how the government system in this country "works".
