The GAO just released a report that said 22 percent of federal programs fail to meet their objectives. The truth is we don't know how taxpayer money is spent in Washington, D.C., which is why I think we ought to put every agency budget up on the Internet for everyone to see. ↗

What you believe to be possible will always come to pass - to the extent that you deem it possible. It really is as simple as that. ↗
