Department Of Purchasing &Amp: Fill & Download for Free

That day when I wanted to withdraw $100 from the ATM and it spit out $1000.Of course, I immediately called the customer service department of my bank, figuring I’d be on the hook for the extra $900. The man with whom I spoke said that there was no record at all of the transactional excess. I’d withdrawn $100.Confused, I asked him what I should do. He said, “Sir, I would suggest that you keep it.”Apparently it would have cost them much more than $900 to rectify the error.That was a good day!

I can only speak for myself, not all conservatives.It all started during my formative preteen years…My father was a machinist foreman for the Department of Defense. Specifically, he worked at a Marine air base and fixed their aircraft. I believe the C-130, Harrier, and CH-46 were three of their main charges. Once he was promoted from regular machinist to foreman, sometime when I was in middle school, he explained to me one of the worst parts of his job: being forced to be wasteful.He was in charge of purchasing new machines for the shop. Except he couldn’t say “no thanks” to any part of the budget. That is, he was forced to spend more money than he needed for his shop every year. He would have been disciplined for saving the government money, and his budget the next year would go down, even if he actually needed the new machinery the next year.In order to spend all of the taxpayer money he was forced to spend, he’d often purchase the most expensive version of something… something he probably didn’t need anyway. One year, during an open house at his shop (the same day as the air show at the base), he showed me a huge industrial-sized digital scale. It would weight things up to 5,000 pounds. It was pretty cool. According to my father, the guys at the shop would weigh themselves before and after going to the bathroom, to see who took the biggest dump. That’s the only thing they used the scale for. They didn’t need the scale. He didn’t want the scale, but he had to spend some taxpayer money on machinery, and it fit in an empty spot on the floor and cost a lot of money, so they bought it.(In retrospect, I’ll bet there was some sort of kickback from the machine suppliers to the politicians who controlled the budget for my father’s machine shop.)I can admit this now that he’s dead, and since I was a minor when it happened: he stole office supplies from the Department of Defense and let me use them for school. Specifically, he got a pack of government-purchased Bic pens for me at the beginning of every school year. He liked to tell me how each pen cost about $8, even though you could get them for $0.25 at the store. The same exact pen, but, since the government purchased it, it cost exponentially more.At the same time, throughout the 1990s, ABC Nightly News with Peter Jennings (the news of choice in our house) had a weekly segment entitled “It’s Your Money.” The whole segment was about government waste. Millions spent here and there for stupid things. It was a weekly reminder of the things my father was telling me about where he worked: the government loved to waste money.Now there are entire websites and organizations dedicated to pointing out wasteful government spending, like this one:Citizens Against Government WasteFor a conservative/libertarian kind of guy like me, it seems like the government would have plenty of money to do everything it’s supposed to do, without a deficit, if they’d just spend that money wisely. That’s why we’re opposed to tax increases… we feel it won’t solve any problems, and most of the money will just be wasted.

Here is a fact;In order to protect the city's water, the Los Angeles department of water and power purchased 80 million hollow black balls to cover its reservoirs to stop the sunlight from triggering dangerous chemical reactions.​Well..That's why everyone should prefer bottle water.(http://boingboing.net/2015/08/11/80-million-plastic-balls-to-pr.html)
