Incompetent Politicians

“Oops! We found some money! Never mind the possible government shutdown.” (FEMA) Thus, the end of the most recent panic over government funding, in which politicians “cried wolf” again for the fourth time (I think) this year (maybe it was more), threatening the shutdown of the government over lack of money. Why is it the government, whose ONLY job is figuring out how to spend our money—can’t seem to do it for more than a few weeks at a time? Are we doomed to have to listen to the panicked cries of these incompetent politicians forever? When are we going to elect some COMPETENT politicians? Are we soon going to ignore such panicked cries for “emergency legislation” to avert “disaster?” It's always an "emergency" because those in charge don't know how to run the government. Then we're supposed to "rescue them" by letting them tax us some more. (Planetizen)
