SAVE Award 2011 EXOP - Office of the Vice President

CANCEL and phase out Welfare and section 8 and food stamps and welfare benefits and low income housing for able bodied working age citizens. The triilions of dollars of welfare money have created a section of society that does not contribute to society and that drains the taxpayers and does not produce tax income for the US GOVERNMENT and holds its customers in social and finance bondage. Please phase out the progams... more »

I think in order to eliminate politicians' "sacred cows" and to neutralize the threat of constant earmarks, the tax payer should be allowed to determine - at least a percentage - where their tax money goes.

Some value healthcare over others and more value national defense, etc. Well let the taxpayer put their money where they feel best.

In the age of electronic voting you can pick your president but you can't determine... more »

The United States Government must do away with the practice of the "use it or lose it" condition for federal assistance monies. "because of excess end-of-year funding," is why a particular training is now being offered in my organization. The business of awarding this year above what was awarded last year, regardless of the "real" need or availability of "backed" money is totally absurd. Liabilities should not exceed... more »

Every time a government employee has to travel on official duty we are forced to use SATO or some other agency designated travel service to purchase our mode of travel & lodging. I have in my possession a copy of a travel confirmation in which the airline ticket cost the taxpayers $1881.80. This ticket could have been purchased for approximately $1000.00 less online without going through SATO. When you add up all the... more »

Without Transparency and sharing of clear, accurate, and real information, excessive amount of money is wasted on programs that are either not needed, terminated, or continued based on bad information. Allow leaders and managers to step down from their positions if they are not committed to finding facts, seeking multidimensional inputs, and not simply making their decisions based on numbers and counts reported by the... more »

Save the plane, hotel, and other amenities,... more »

The law says that any male born after 1959 must register for Selective Service upon his eighteenth birthday. Any male that doesn't register for Selective Service is in violation of the law and is not eligible for any government benefit. But what if a male enlists in the armed forces rather than registers? Furthermore, the male reeinlists and is everntually honorably discharged. According to OPM, the veteran's military... more »

It appears that inadequate management (too many mgrs., absence of management in the work areas, unqualified mgrs., abusive mgrs., the DILBERT syndrome managers, etc.) is at the root of all government agencies in general. Responsibility, expertise, accountability, loyalty (REAL) are traits lacking from Washington to the bottom of the GS scale. Where would we, the people, be if we did as our leaders and representatives... more »
