Watching several more layers of the IRS ineptitude/arrogance onion peeled back in the House hearings yesterday, prompted thoughts of how many more agents will be mismanaged with the implementation of Obamacare. Especially in light of sequestration, presently forcing cutbacks in many vital areas of government services, I wondered about the additional personnel costs to taxpayers.
The latest information I found via Google, was posted by FactCheck.org, on February. 23, 2011, as follows: “The IRS is actually asking for more new workers than reported in an article by U.S. News and World Report — a story that has generated a lot of Internet buzz after being picked up by news outlets, such as Fox News and The Daily Caller. The IRS budget request for fiscal year 2012 shows that the agency is seeking at least 1,269 full-time equivalent employees (FTEs) at a cost of $473 million to help implement the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.”
So, while the national debt’s approaching $17 trillion amidst the slowest recovery in U.S. history, and still stubbornly refusing to do the most logical things to stimulate economic growth -such as opening the Keystone pipeline- the administration's moronically adding another half billion in unnecessary, totally wasteful costs on a healthcare tax that never should have passed to begin with.
That scenario got me to thinking of how something like the ruination of the world’s strongest economy could happen in only five years, considering that just about every aspect of U.S. business and technological capability has continually and constantly improved.
Now, obviously, the preceding question’s rhetorical, whereas we all know the answer. The current administration devotes practically all of its time to insuring economic stagnation by road-blocking economic growth in order to undermine and sabotage capitalism. All of which led to my next question to myself: Why would something like that happen in our nation in today’s day and age?
While I couldn’t come up with a precise answer, I did formulate a theoretical basis from which to start.
At this point, whereas the job of leading our nation is so huge and complex, it takes one with extraordinary talents and skills in top management for which there’s no preparatory equal. The closest likely being governorship of one of our largest states. Consequently, it occurred to me that perhaps there should be some kind of application for the position, whereas today, even the most menial jobs require extensive, documentable, resumes with appropriate reference information.
Therefore, and only for consideration, I wondered how the incumbent would stack up if the simplest of applications was required for the position of POTUS.
Now, without going through all of my conclusions, and typing another four or five pages, I’ll just mention a few aspects of what the POTUS position requires, and you can come up with answers regarding his capabilities in those areas for yourself.
For example, how about prior experience in budgeting at any governmental level, town, city, county, state or nation? Staffing? Personnel? Military service, leadership or experience of any type whatsoever? International relations of any kind? Foreign service, interface, diplomatic interaction in any manner? Taxation in any aspect, other than as individual payer? Responsibility for any type of social service, be it welfare, unemployment compensation, healthcare or anything else? Overseeing education of any type. Curriculum development and/or teacher’s performance or union affiliations? Union negotiation in general? Environmental regulation? Any immigration matters or border control and enforcement in any aspect?
While the forgoing list barely touches the surface for requirements for an effective POTUS, for me it brings up a simple point, which is: From what I know of the incumbent’s prior background, if he truly has first hand, successful experience in any of the area’s listed to prepare him for the job, he must have done his street-organizing in the most sophisticated, interconnected, influential neighborhood in the world.
That's it for today folks
Adios
