If you are sick and tired of waste in government, this is a fantastic "short clip" that I encourage you to watch - and if possible share with your family and friends. Its a short nine-minute clip revealing an in-depth report by Tom Brokaw, former NBC news anchor.
See for yourself how a single government employee - a military member of all things - was able to waste precious government resources immediately following World War II. How in the world could a member of the US Military have the audacity to take it upon himself to exceed his authority?
Most of us know about, or have heard about, the Uni-Bomber and the Boston Marathon Bombers ... but I personally had never heard of this guy who was called the Candy Bomber.
I know this clip starts off slow --- and you think nothing but music and singing will follow but if you are like me - I really think you will be shocked. I was flabbergasted.
If you watch this clip, I ask two things -
First, first let me know if you enjoyed it.
Second, forward this to your friends who are fed up with government waste and want more accountability placed on the actions of government employees.

Pearl # 11 -- Wisdom
Just because I can give local public officials - great advice that will save time, significantly reduce expenses and help them become more efficient ... doesn't mean I am smarted then any of them.
All it means is that during my lengthy career in local government I did a lot of stupid sh** and over time by using the trial and error method I finally figured out a lot of things and now know first-hand how things really work.
