Governmental Excesses. It should come as no surprise that the U.S. government is the largest employer in America. A Federal Congress person takes on added importance allocating money to all those workers losing a sense of humility. Being humble in the halls of our Nation's capital just doesn't exist. Then again, things get complicated when the place you work for is over 30 trillion dollars in debt. Let's not forget the 1.8 m. military on active duty, 833,000 reservists, or the 3.4m. contract workers you pay. So how come 200 lobsters were flown from Maine to feed 300 guests at the White House? Everyday excesses?
