Just read a very good article. It has many useful links and is a "tell all" piece from a prior US Intelligence Officer that hits home for the cognitive thinkers on many issues.

Here is a quote from about 2/3rds down in the article:

"Sadly the culture of government is a go-along to get along budget-building culture, where the focus is on spending money and planning for a post-retirement job among those to whom you have channeled taxpayer funds over the years. The focus is not on the public interest. Most of what we do in government is benign lip service, but in the aggregate, we are choking the economy and undermining society."
 

The entire article is a good thought provoking and educational read. Please share with those that should see this article.
