It’s breathtaking when a member of congress has the nerve to complain about an IRS employee being “in limbo…on the taxpayers’ dime” because she was put on paid administrative leave when she refused to resign prior to any determination of guilt. It is just cheek up to here. What about “innocent until proven guilty?” And wasting the taxpayers’ dime has been perfected to an art form by members of the US House and Senate. Can you say, “Pork?!”
Lois Lerner is on paid leave pending
an investigation into IRS stupidity. It’s
being done by the government, of all people, including the smear circus by
congress. Her paid administrative leave
is appropriate, and the sooner we get past congressional obstruction inflicted
for the purpose of partisan pandering, the sooner we might find out exactly
what happened at the IRS. THEN congress
has a role in crafting preventive action.
The problem is, congress is the least effective piece of government work
in existence, and probably won’t be able to agree on anything useful. The 112th “Do Damage” congress set
the usefulness bar about shoe high, and the 113th ”Save The Rich”
congress, trying as it is, keeps leaping into that bar. If anybody in government is wasting our
dimes, you can be sure he or she was elected to congress.
Around here, it seems some
pseudo-statesmen want to look like hecklers from the cheap seats. It’s working.
We think they should get themselves busy with our country’s important
bipartisan work.
