Funny...but in all seriousness....where Obama is leading us....we better start learning how to read that crap.
Government agencies "improperly paid" $124.7-billion in 2014.
http://www.scribd.com/doc/258956787/...yments-in-2014
Government-wide, improper payment estimates totaled $124.7 billion in fiscal year 2014, a significant increase of approximately $19 billion from the prior year’s estimate of $105.8 billion. The estimated improper payments for fiscal year 2014 were attributable to 124 programs spread among 22 agencies. The reported government-wide error rate was 4.5 percent of program outlays in fiscal year 2014 compared to 4.0 percent reported in fiscal year 2013. The increase in the 2014 estimate is attributed primarily to increased error rates in three major programs: the Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Medicare Fee-for-Service and Medicaid programs, and the Department of the Treasury’s Earned Income Tax Credit program. These three programs accounted for $80.9 billion in improper payment estimates, or approximately 65 percent of the government-wide total for fiscal year 2014

As one comment I read said elsewhere, "We don't make anything anymore, just move it around."
Good grief. There needs to be a way to get the government out of the way. Government is typically the problem. They have to cause problems somewhere to somehow justify their involvement in bogus attempts to fix problems so they can grab control. Then you have the inmates running the asylum.
There have been plenty of government jobs created during this administration's time. In many cases that just means more wasteful, inefficient, and incompetent operations because they don't get held accountable.
No fear though, Obama says his economic policies are "working". Right? He says it and half the country is ignorant enough, delusional enough, or dumb enough to believe it. The media aides and abets by pushing altered statistics and ignoring the dismal ones. Obama would veto any rational Republican bill on anything.
In addition, it is insane the money and perks these politicians get for life. Half of them should be in prison. These politicians should be forced to survive back in the private sector. What these politicians think they are entitled to and vote for themselves to enjoy is what the military people really deserve to be getting.
Congress does not create jobs. However, the very first legislation brought up, a "jobs bill", was defeated by Democrats. Democrats that trumpeted to the highest mountain that they were proud to defeat it.
Congress does create an environment where jobs get created.
