Being a business theatre producer has allowed Brian the opportunity to meet and work with some very fascinating people from a variety of backgrounds which, in turn, has helped shape his knowledge and his opinions.

Just more government waste

Have you ever seen anything more wasteful than our Federal Government?

I received, as I am sure every American household received, a letter from the Census Bureau. It was very official looking, almost looked like a regular direct mail piece than normally gets thrown away with the rest of the junk mail we receive. It had a Presorted First Class stamp paid by the Census Bureau.

The opening paragraph read, "About one week from now, you will receive a 2010 Census form in the mail. When you receive your form, please fill it out and mail it promptly."

Don't you think that after their wasteful Public Service Announcements on the Super Bowl and on many TV programs that it would have been much more economical to just mail out the Census form?

I know they are trying to support another one of their failed enterprises, the U.S. Postal Service but the printing, handling, sorting, and mailing alone had to cost the already over burdened U.S. Taxpayer a couple of hundred million. But it is not real money, it is only taxpayers money. It is time the U.S. Government stop trying to support their failing business with their own failing mismanaged business.

The U.S. Census is estimated to cost over $10 Billion, why not start all that alleged saving of government waste now. Why wait for congress to pass some other useless expensive bureaucratic spending cut law that will only waste more money.

I can't wait until the Obama Administration passes the Health Care Reform, if they say it will cost less than $1 Trillion, you can bet it will cost many more Trillions of Dollars.

Now you know where I stand, where do you stand?
