SO, THE DEPT. OF ENERGY WAS CREATED UNDER JIMMY CARTER BECAUSE OF THE GASOLINE CRISIS IN THE 1970’S TO MAKE OUR SOURCES OF ENERGY SECURE FORM FOREIGN ENTITIES. THIS HUGE CABINET LEVEL BUREAUCRACY COULD NOT SERVE THEIR MISSION STATEMENT IN PROTECTING OUR PIPELINES FROM RUSSIAN ENTITIES. TELL ME AGAIN HOW A BIGGER FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WITH EVEN MORE BUREAUCRATS CAN MAKE OUR LIVES SAFER OR BETTER.
