Sometimes I think the big spenders that write these editorials are actually agents of various local goverment agencies.

Does anybody in their right mind believe that three goverment agencies "merging" together is going to produce any kind of savings? Of course it isn't, at best it will at least triple the cost of whatever they are buying.

Anytime you hear the parasites from any branch of goverment saying they will save us money, it's time to hold on to your pants, because they are coming down, so you can get screwed again.
