Just who does it belong to!!! Jean Paul Luwig or Barack Hussein Obama SSN#042-68-4425
WOW, read this, it's short - very interesting.
An intensive investigation has revealed the identity of the man whose Social Security Number (SSN) is being used by President Obama: Was Jean Paul Ludwig , who was born in France in 1890, immigrated to the United States in 1924, and was assigned SSN 042-68-4425 (Obama's current SSN) received on or about March 1977.
Mr. Ludwig lived most of his adult life in Connecticut . Because of that, his SSN begins with the digits 042, which are among only a select few reserved for Connecticut residents.
Barack H. Obama never lived or worked in that state! Therefore, there is no reason on earth for his SSN to start with the digits 042. None whatsoever!
Now comes the best part!
J.P. Ludwig spent the final months of his life in Hawaii , where he died.Conveniently, Obama's grandmother, Madelyn Payne Dunham, worked part-time in the Probate Office in the Honolulu Hawaii Courthouse, and therefore had access to the SSNs of deceased individuals.
The Social Security Administration was never informed of Ludwig's death, and because he never received Social Security benefits there were no benefits to stop and therefore, no questions were ever raised..
The suspicion, of course, is that Dunham, knowing her grandson was not a U.S. Citizen, either because he was born in Kenya or became a citizen of Indonesia upon his adoption by Lolo Soetoro, simply scoured the probate records until she found someone who died who was not receiving Social Security benefits, and selected Mr. Ludwigs Connecticut SSN for Obama.
Just wait until Trump gets past the birth certificate and onto the issue of Barry O's use of a stolen SSN. You will see leftist heads exploding, because they will have no way of defending Obama. Although many Americans do not understand the meaning of the term "natural born" there are few who do not understand that if you are using someone else's SSN it is a clear indication
of fraud.
Let's all get this information out to everybody on our mailing lists. If the voters of this great nation can succeed in bringing this lying, deceitful, cheating, corrupt, impostor to justice it will be the biggest and best news in decades for our country and the world.

If you can just say "oh well; ho hum" after reading this you get what you deserve.

What If He's Right?
I hope you find the time to read this with an open mind. It's interesting. Please read it with the open mind rather than immediately breaking it down into left or right, but rather look at it from the neutral viewpoint of right or wrong. It's like the line below says, "what if he is right?"
Take the three minutes to read this. Maybe he is wrong, but what if he’s right?
David Kaiser is a respected historian whose published works have covered a broad range of topics, from European Warfare to American League Baseball.

He attended HarvardUniversity, graduating there in 1969 with a B.A. In history. He then spent several years more at Harvard, gaining a PhD in history, which he obtained in 1976. He served in the Army Reserve from 1970 to 1976.
He is a professor in the Strategy and Policy Department of theUnited States Naval War College. He has previously taught at Carnegie Mellon, Williams College and Harvard University. Kaiser's latest book, The Road to Dallas, about the Kennedy assassination, was just published by Harvard University Press.
History Unfolding
I am a student of history. Professionally, I have written 15 books on history that have been published in six languages, and I have studied history all my life. I have come to think there is something monumentally large afoot, and I do not believe it is simply a banking crisis, or a mortgage crisis, or a credit crisis. Yes these exist, but they are merely single facets on a very large gemstone that is only now coming into a sharper focus.
Something of historic proportions is happening. I can sense it because I know how it feels, smells, what it looks like, and how people react to it. Yes, a perfect storm may be brewing, but there is something happening within our country that has been evolving for about ten to fifteen years. The pace has dramatically quickened in the past two.
We demand and then codify into law the requirement that our banks make massive loans to people they know can never pay back. Why?
We learned just days ago that the Federal Reserve, which has little or no real oversight by anyone, has "loaned" two trillion dollars (that is $2,000,000,000,000) over the past few months, but will not tell us to whom or why or disclose the terms. That is our money. Yours and mine. And that is three times the $700 billion we all argued about so strenuously just this past September. Who has this money? Why do they have it? Why are the terms unavailable to us? Who asked for it? Who authorized it? I thought this was a government of "we the people," who loaned our powers to our elected leaders. Apparently not.
We have spent two or more decades intentionally de-industrializing our economy... Why?
We have intentionally dumbed down our schools, ignored our history, and no longer teach our founding documents, why we are exceptional, and why we are worth preserving. Students by and large cannot write, think critically, read, or articulate. Parents are not revolting, teachers are not picketing, school boards continue to back mediocrity. Why?
We have now established the precedent of protesting every close election (violently in California over a proposition that is so controversial that it simply wants marriage to remain defined as between one man and one woman. Did you ever think such a thing possible just a decade ago?) We have corrupted our sacred political process by allowing unelected judges to write laws that radically change our way of life, and then mainstream Marxist groups like ACORN and others to turn our voting system into a banana republic. To what purpose?
Now our mortgage industry is collapsing, housing prices are in free fall, major industries are failing, our banking system is on the verge of collapse, social security is nearly bankrupt, as is Medicare and our entire government. Our education system is worse than a joke (I teach college and I know precisely what I am talking about) - the list is staggering in its length, breadth, and depth.. It is potentially 1929 x ten...And we are at war with an enemy we cannot even name for fear of offending people of the same religion, who, in turn, cannot wait to slit the throats of your children if they have the opportunity to do so.
And finally, we have elected a man that no one really knows anything about, who has never run so much as a Dairy Queen, let alone a town as big as Wasilla , Alaska .. All of his associations and alliances are with real radicals in their chosen fields of employment, and everything we learn about him, drip by drip, is unsettling if not downright scary (Surely you have heard him speak about his idea to create and fund a mandatory civilian defense force stronger than our military for use inside our borders? No? Oh, of course. The media would never play that for you over and over and then demand he answer it. Sarah Palin's pregnant daughter and $150,000 wardrobe are more important.)
Mr. Obama's winning platform can be boiled down to one word: Change. Why?
I have never been so afraid for my country and for my children as I am now.
This man campaigned on bringing people together, something he has never, ever done in his professional life. In my assessment, Obama will divide us along philosophical lines, push us apart, and then try to realign the pieces into a new and different power structure. Change is indeed coming. And when it comes, you will never see the same nation again.
And that is only the beginning.
As a serious student of history, I thought I would never come to experience what the ordinary, moral German must have felt in the mid-1930s In those times, the "savior" was a former smooth-talking rabble-rouser from the streets, about whom the average German knew next to nothing. What they should have known was that he was associated with groups that shouted, shoved, and pushed around people with whom they disagreed; he edged his way onto the political stage through great oratory. Conservative "losers" read it right now.
And there were the promises. Economic times were tough, people were losing jobs, and he was a great speaker. And he smiled and frowned and waved a lot. And people, even newspapers, were afraid to speak out for fear that his "brown shirts" would bully and beat them into submission. Which they did - regularly. And then, he was duly elected to office, while a full-throttled economic crisis bloomed at hand - the Great Depression. Slowly, but surely he seized the controls of government power, person by person, department by department, bureaucracy by bureaucracy. The children of German citizens were at first, encouraged to join a Youth Movement in his name where they were taught exactly what to think. Later, they were required to do so. No Jews of course.
How did he get people on his side? He did it by promising jobs to the jobless, money to the money-less, and rewards for the military-industrial complex. He did it by indoctrinating the children, advocating gun control, health care for all, better wages, better jobs, and promising to re-instill pride once again in the country, across Europe , and across the world. He did it with a compliant media - did you know that? And he did this all in the name of justice and .... . ... change. And the people surely got what they voted for.
If you think I am exaggerating, look it up. It's all there in the history books.
So read your history books. Many people of conscience objected in 1933 and were shouted down, called names, laughed at, and ridiculed. When Winston Churchill pointed out the obvious in the late 1930s while seated in the House of Lords in England (he was not yet Prime Minister), he was booed into his seat and called a crazy troublemaker. He was right, though. And the world came to regret that he was not listened to.
Do not forget that Germany was the most educated, the most cultured country in Europe . It was full of music, art, museums, hospitals, laboratories, and universities. And yet, in less than six years (a shorter time span than just two terms of the U. S.presidency) it was rounding up its own citizens, killing others, abrogating its laws, turning children against parents, and neighbors against neighbors.. All with the best of intentions, of course.. The road to Hell is paved with them.
As a practical thinker, one not overly prone to emotional decisions, I have a choice: I can either believe what the objective pieces of evidence tell me (even if they make me cringe with disgust); I can believe what history is shouting to me from across the chasm of seven decades; or I can hope I am wrong by closing my eyes, having another latte, and ignoring what is transpiring around me.
I choose to believe the evidence. No doubt some people will scoff at me, others laugh, or think I am foolish, naive, or both. To some degree, perhaps I am. But I have never been afraid to look people in the eye and tell them exactly what I believe-and why I believe it.
I pray I am wrong. I do not think I am. Perhaps the only hope is our vote in the next elections.

America's Most Biblically Hostile President
David Barton of Wallbuilders http://www.wallbuilders.com/LIBissuesArticles.asp?id=106938 ; has come out with a list explaining why Barack Obama is possibly the most biblically hostile President of all time. While most of these stories have been seen before, seeing them all laid out in one list is pretty astonishing.
1. Acts of Hostility Toward People Of Biblical Faith:

d. August 2010 – Obama speaks with great praise of Islam and condescendingly of Christianity.
e. August 2010 – Obama went to great lengths to speak out on multiple occasions on behalf of building an Islamic mosque at Ground Zero, while at the same time he was silent about a Christian church being denied permission to rebuild at that location.
f. 2010 – While every White House traditionally issues hundreds of official proclamations and statements on numerous occasions, this White House avoids traditional Biblical holidays and events but regularly recognizes major Muslim holidays, as evidenced by its 2010 statements on Ramadan, Eid-ul-Fitr, Hajj, and Eid-ul-Adha.
g. October 2011 – Obama’s Muslim advisers block Middle Eastern Christians’ access to the White House.
h. February 2012 – The Obama administration makes effulgent apologies for Korans being burned by the U. S. military, but when Bibles were burned by the military, numerous reasons were offered why it was the right thing to do.
Many of these actions are literally unprecedented – this is the first time they have happened in four centuries of American history. The hostility of President Obama toward Biblical faith and values is without equal from any previous American president.
Also...
'Only 3 Times'...
In all the years since D-Day 1945, there are only three occasions when a US President failed to go to the D-Day Monument honoring the soldiers killed during the Invasion.
1. Barack Obama 2010
2. Barack Obama 2011
3. Barack Obama 2012
For the past 68 years all presidents, except Obama, have paid tribute to fallen soldiers killed on D-Day. This year, instead of honoring the soldiers he made a campaign trip on Air Force One to California to raise funds for his upcoming election.
Disturbing, to say the least.

g. October 2011 – Obama’s Muslim advisers block Middle Eastern Christians’ access to the White House.
h. February 2012 – The Obama administration makes effulgent apologies for Korans being burned by the U. S. military, but when Bibles were burned by the military, numerous reasons were offered why it was the right thing to do.
Many of these actions are literally unprecedented – this is the first time they have happened in four centuries of American history. The hostility of President Obama toward Biblical faith and values is without equal from any previous American president.
Also...
'Only 3 Times'...
In all the years since D-Day 1945, there are only three occasions when a US President failed to go to the D-Day Monument honoring the soldiers killed during the Invasion.
1. Barack Obama 2010
2. Barack Obama 2011
3. Barack Obama 2012
For the past 68 years all presidents, except Obama, have paid tribute to fallen soldiers killed on D-Day. This year, instead of honoring the soldiers he made a campaign trip on Air Force One to California to raise funds for his upcoming election.
Disturbing, to say the least.

A Lesson in Irony
The Food Stamp Program, administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is proud to be distributing the greatest amount of free meals and food stamps ever.
Meanwhile, the National Park Service, administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, asks us to "Please Do Not Feed the Animals." Their stated reason for the policy is because the animals will grow dependent on handouts and will not learn to take care of themselves.
This ends today's lesson.

For those of you who are on Medicare, read the following. It's short, but important and you probably haven't heard about it in the Mainstream News:
"The per person Medicare Insurance Premium will increase from the present Monthly Fee of $96.40, rising to:
$104.20 in 2012
$120.20 in 2013
And
$247.00 in 2014."
These are Provisions incorporated in the Obamacare Legislation, purposely delayed so as not to confuse the 2012 Re-Election Campaigns. Send this to all Seniors that you know, so they will know who's throwing them under the bus.

Supposedly A Donald Trump Quote
Let me get this straight . . .
We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't, which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that didn't read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a Dumbo President who smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, for which we'll be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke!!!!!
'What the hell could possibly go wrong?'

Own A Gun? Doctors Can Refuse To Treat You
If you have a gun in your home, can doctors be allowed to refuse you treatment?
At least one federal judge thinks so, and she has issued a permanent injunction against a Florida law that would have forced doctors to provide their service.
Last year, Florida passed the “Firearm Ownership Privacy Act,” which bars doctors from asking patients about guns in the home, “unless the practitioner in good faith believes the information is relevant to the patient’s medical care or safety” and would impose sanctions if doctors “unnecessarily harass a patient about firearm ownership.”
The law was passed after an Ocala, Fla., couple complained that a doctor had asked them about guns and after they declined to answer refused to see them anymore.
But U.S. District Judge Marcia Cooke had issued a temporary injunction after three doctors sued the state, claiming the “gag order” on talking to their patients about guns was an infringement of free speech and the doctor-patient relationship.
The resulting legal battle became known as the “Docs vs. Glocks” case.
The doctors were backed in the case by various physicians organizations, the American Civil Liberties Union and the Washington-based Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence.
The National Rifle Association, however, which helped push the law through the legislation, was barred by the judge from participating in the lawsuit, as Cooke claimed the state was fully capable of defending itself.
In a ruling issued late last week, Cooke decided for the doctors and made her injunction against the law permanent.
“The state, through this law, inserts itself in the doctor-patient relationship,” Cooke wrote in her 25-page ruling, “prohibiting and burdening speech necessary to the proper practice of preventive medicine, thereby preventing patients from receiving truthful, non-misleading information. … This it cannot do.”
Cooke asserted furthermore that the anti-harassment language of the bill is too vague and “does not provide fair notice as to what range of conduct it prohibits.”
Dan Gross, president of the Brady Center, celebrated the decision.
“Guns in the home are a proven deadly risk,” Gross said in a statement. “The government cannot tell us or our doctors that we are prohibited from discussing the deadly risks posed by guns.”
Florida Governor Rick Scott’s spokesman, Lane Wright, told the Palm Beach Post that the governor was considering whether or not to appeal the decision, but Rep. Jason Brodeur, a Republican who sponsored the bill, and the Florida Senate’s general counsel, Craig Meyer, both said they believed Scott would appeal.

AIRHEAD AMERICA
Dr. Jack Wheeler
To The Point
Thursday, 28 June 2012
It's hard to fathom why John Roberts would murder the Constitution today, but his mental contortions don't matter. The reality is that America no longer has a Constitution, thanks to his vote and that of the four other loony-left libs on the No Longer Supreme Court.
Without a Constitution providing a coherent rule of law, America is now a thoroughly lawless nation. There are many consequences to this, and among them is that no one is obligated to obey the law because the law no longer exists. What exists now in place of law are threats - hundreds of thousands of threats issued by federal bureaucrats who call them "regulations," and enforced by gun-toting federal goons.
The threats of a federal agent are not morally different now than those of a mugger in an alley. When either one sticks a gun in your face and yells, "Your money or your life!", it is a purely pragmatic decision to give the thief your wallet - but you are under no moral obligation whatsoever to do so.
What happened today in the No Longer Supreme Court's 5-4 upholding of ZeroCare is an ultimate expression of Airhead America.
Hopefully, this cowardly Roberts decision (under his ludicrous logic, the federal government can require every American to buy arugula, then tax us if we don't) will enrage enough voters to ensure Romney's defeat of Zero in November. Yet that defeat is now less of a panacea than ever. At the very most, it would be our El Alamein.
It was there, in early November, 1942, that British forces defeated those of the Nazis in Egypt. Up until then, Britain had been defeated everywhere, from Dunkirk to Singapore. When Churchill announced the victory to Parliament, he cautioned, "This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning."
Only perhaps. The hole we have to dig our country out of got a lot deeper today. And it was abysmally deep to begin with.
Andrew Klavan provides three primary examples that should cause any sentient person to laugh at the myth of Zero's superior character: He lies constantly about who he is; his basic values are not American; he has no clue whatever about how the real world works.
So, Zero has no character to be president. But what about us? Does a voting majority of "we the people" have the character to be Americans? Here we have a clueless, anti-American president of zero moral character and he and Romney are in a dead heat in the latest NBC/WSJ poll. Obviously, a very substantial portion of the electorate close to a majority does not have the character to be actual Americans.
Why? Because they are Airheads. To gain a fuller understanding of why, you need to get to know David Gelernter. He's a full professor of computer science at Yale University whom Bill Joy (founder of Sun Microsystems) calls "one of the most brilliant computer scientists of our time," for pioneering parallel processing and artificial intelligence.
Aside from being one of "the world's 100 leading scientists" according to the New York Times, he's a well-regarded painter and poet, a Jewish spiritualist, an author and novelist, the victim of a mailbomb by Unabomber Ted Kaczynski (in 1993, his right hand and eye suffered permanent damage), and winner of a $625 million lawsuit against Apple for patent infringement. Oh... and he's a full-bore pro-American, pro-capitalist conservative.
This week - good timing, David! - his latest book was published, and it is simply necessary for you to buy, beg, or borrow a copy and read it. It'sAmerica-Lite: How Imperial Academia Dismantled Our Culture and Ushered in the Obamacrats. This is the Book of the Year.
He traces academia's disembowelment of American culture to the "cultural revolution" of the 1960s and 70s fomented by boomer kids who hated their parents for being the Greatest Generation that won WWII and created America as a superpower of prosperity and national strength. What could they do to match that? So they augured into resentment and hatred of their country and culture. The only way they could make a living doing so was entrench themselves into academia - which they took over.
Academics, especially those in the non-sciences, have a natural tendency to view theory (their own theories in particular) as more important that facts and reality. "Disregard for the truth and preference for ideas over people," he quotes historian Paul Johnson, "marks the true secular intellectual."
Couple this with the Hate America resentment of Boomer Academics and you get the transformation of Ivy League prestigious academia from proud pro-America dominance by WASPs (peaking in the 1950s and early 60s) to dominance by PORGIs - post-religious globalist intellectuals. For over 30 years now, the PORGIs have been turning their students into Airheads who have no capacity for independent reality-based thought.
Zero and his generation of Airheads is "the first to come of age after the cultural revolution." As such, it is "unique in American history. All former leftist movements were driven by ideology. Obama's is driven by ignorance."
Let that sink in. And this: "Obama is not important in himself, except insofar as he is black." That is, we elected him to pass the final exam in Tolerance School. "But the man himself is merely a mouth for garden-variety left-liberal ideas... He is important not because he is exceptional but because he is typical. He is the new establishment. He is the post-cultural revolution PORGI elite."
Zero is thus "a symbol, the living embodiment, of the failure of American education and its ongoing replacement by political indoctrination." "How could," Gelernter asks, " thirty-plus years of educational malpractice not matter?"
As a result, he concludes, "The nation is filling inexorably with Airheads, nominally educated yet ignorant, trained and groomed like prize puppies to be good liberals."
At this, he's just warming up. "Conservatives believe that today's liberals are ideologues. They have not grasped the colossal, terrifying truth. The words and actions of President Obama and of many in his administration don't even rise to the level of ‘ideological.' Airhead liberals from Obama on down base their worldview, their political shtick, and all their intellectual bookings on ignorance. Their attitudes are learned by rote."
Simply, "This president is not an ideologue." To claim he is a "Marxist," for example would be giving him way too much intellectual credit, for "he does not reach to that level." Zero is, rather, "a PORGI Airhead - smart, educated, and ignorant... the acclaimed leader of the Airhead Generation."
Yet our Airhead President graduated from some of the best schools in America: Columbia and Harvard Law. This is what really alarms Gelernter - for it means that Zero "isn't especially ignorant. He is only the leading citizen of an ignorant generation. What does that say about our schools?" he asks. "What does that say about America in general?"
His solutions are generational - home-schooling, internet-based education - but we don't have the decades to effect them. A far faster solution would be for a Romney administration and Pub Congress to eliminate the Department of Education - zero it out - and all federal funding of education (including universities, including student loans). That would sober future Airheads up fast.
The other quick fix is to put this current crop of Airheads on a diet of reality. We could call it the TANSTAAFL Diet. Popularized by Robert Heinlein in his 1966 sci-fi The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress, and numerous articles by Milton Friedman, it's the acronym for There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch. No more mooching on the taxpayers' dime.
The best place to start that would be to put an end to Food Stamp Nation. No mas. Zero it out. All $80 billion of it.
We simply have to put the nation's Airheads on a steep learning curve to thinking for themselves and being responsible for themselves. The steeper the better, for the faster they will learn and adapt, and the quicker will be their return to being Americans.
We have a higher hurdle to overcome with the contempt John Roberts has displayed towards the Constitution today. He has joined the Left. He has become an Airhead. It is a real tragedy. But we cannot let him get in our way. We have no longer any moral obligations to obey his rulings. We live in a lawless nation. It's up to us to bring order out of liberal chaos and restore Constitutional government.
On November 6, Airhead America will lose. That will be the end of the beginning of its defeat. If we have the courage of Churchill and reject the cowardice of Roberts, Airhead America will someday be no more.

THE NIGHT WATCHMAN
Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert.
Congress said, "Someone may steal from it at night."
So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job.
Then Congress said, "How does the watchman do his job without instruction?"
So they created a planning department and hired two people, one person to write the instructions, and one person to do time studies.
Then Congress said, "How will we know the night watchman is doing the tasks correctly?"
So they created a Quality Control department and hired two people. One was to do the studies and one was to write the reports.
Then Congress said, "How are these people going to get paid?"
So they created two positions: a time keeper and a payroll officer then hired two people.
Then Congress said, "Who will be accountable for all of these people?"
So they created an administrative section and hired three people, an Administrative Officer, Assistant Administrative Officer, and a Legal Secretary.
Then Congress said, "We have had this command in operation for one year and we are $918,000 over budget, we must cut back."
So they laid-off the night watchman.
NOW slowly, let that sink in.
Quietly, we go like sheep to slaughter. Does anybody remember the reason given for the establishment of the DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY during the Carter administration???
Anybody?
Anything?
No?
Didn't think so!
Bottom line is, we've spent several hundred billion dollars in support of an agency, the reason for which no one can remember!
Ready??
It was very simple... and at the time, everybody thought it a very good idea and most appropriate.
The Department of Energy was instituted on 8/04/1977, TO LESSEN OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL.
Hey, pretty efficient, huh???
AND NOW IT'S 2012 -- 35 YEARS LATER -- AND THE BUDGET FOR THIS "NECESSARY" DEPARTMENT IS AT $24.2 BILLION A YEAR. IT HAS 16,000 FEDERAL EMPLOYEES AND APPROXIMATELY 100,000 CONTRACT EMPLOYEES; AND LOOK AT THE JOB IT HAS DONE!
(THIS IS WHERE YOU SLAP YOUR FOREHEAD AND SAY, "WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?")
34 years ago 30% of our oil consumption was foreign imports. Today 70% of our oil consumption is foreign imports.
Ah, yes -- good old Federal bureaucracy.
NOW, WE HAVE TURNED OVER THE BANKING SYSTEM, HEALTH CARE, AND THE AUTO INDUSTRY TO THE SAME GOVERNMENT?
Hello!! Anybody Home?

Congress said, "Someone may steal from it at night."
So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job.
Then Congress said, "How does the watchman do his job without instruction?"
So they created a planning department and hired two people, one person to write the instructions, and one person to do time studies.
Then Congress said, "How will we know the night watchman is doing the tasks correctly?"
So they created a Quality Control department and hired two people. One was to do the studies and one was to write the reports.
Then Congress said, "How are these people going to get paid?"
So they created two positions: a time keeper and a payroll officer then hired two people.
Then Congress said, "Who will be accountable for all of these people?"
So they created an administrative section and hired three people, an Administrative Officer, Assistant Administrative Officer, and a Legal Secretary.
Then Congress said, "We have had this command in operation for one year and we are $918,000 over budget, we must cut back."
So they laid-off the night watchman.
NOW slowly, let that sink in.
