My mother doesn't approve of me calling out Rich G and Redhook for making the stupidest posts in the history of PP, but my lowly defense is that it gets old taking the high road all the time.

Rich, I don't dislike you, but your post was stupid beyond the belief of any informed person. You would do yourself a favor to include more sources of information in your life. You're not completely off, just mostly. Agencies do less than stellar jobs at managing public resources because the public - meaning all of us - doesn't want what's best for the public resources. They want what is best for them, and that is often to the detriment of the resource. You can be an agent of change. Remember, you're either part of the solution, and if not, then you're part of the problem. I could post my resume, and then you could decide how much I contributed to the problem, but somehow, I don't expect an honest answer.

Redhook, aka Evo, your only hope is to get a job. Until then, you really have no standing here, or elsewhere, or in real life.

Oh, and to those who appear concerned that I'm enjoying retirement at your expense, you should pay attention and note that Reagan changed the federal retirement system in 1984. All federal employees who joined federal service after that date get good old Social Security, just like most American working stiffs.
