The USDA and Fiscal Irresponsibility

 Someone bring out the plunger. The government toilet is clogged again, courtesy of the United States Department of Agriculture.

 According to a Judicial Watch report, the USDA flushed over 200,000 taxpayer dollars into a “Cultural Sensitivity Training” program where employees engaged in activities that were marketed as cultivating a “broader effort towards cultural transformation.”

 Here’s the full Judicial Watch article: http://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/jw-releases-confidential-usda-videos-revealing-cultural-sensitivity-training-program/

My question is this: since when has it been the USDA’s job to make comments regarding race?  The last time I checked it was designed to protect natural resources and end hunger in the United States. You know, things that have to do with agriculture. Political correctness has no place in an organization that was established by Abraham Lincoln as “the people’s department.”

$200,000 may not seem like a lot of money when focusing on the bigger picture, but when we the people are getting ripped off, no amount of money is too small. Sadly, federally run organizations are so notorious for doing whatever they want with the money of hard-working Americans that it has become almost tiresome to hear tales of their gratuitous and irresponsible spending. Just look at the General Service Administration or the Environmental Protection Agency. When’s the last time these organizations have done any real good for the American people?

Of course, they will often resort to classic bully tactics to get their way. Don’t support how the EPA is throwing your money into useless regulations? Then you’re against the environment. Have a problem with the USDA’s political stance? Then you’re a racist.

 It’s all part of the little games they play with our tax dollars, and we’re tired of playing.
