So... let me get this straight ...
Obama is expanding the size of government with a new "efficiency advisor" in order to cut government waste. Seems a little hypocritical to me... I mean.. why not have a whole department, The Department of Efficiency?? On their first day, they report to Obama "We have identified a whole department -- ours -- that seems to do nothing and we recommend it be cut." And they get a raise for good work while Obama thinks over their advice for a few years...
I mean .. WTF? Is it really so hard to identify government waste that they need an "efficiency advisor"? How about the war if Afhganistan?? How about the trillion dollar stimulus package you're proposing, Mr. "Efficiency" Obama??
Am I making too much of this? Perhaps it's a good thing that he is at least thinking about attempting to do something about the deficit.
