Just wait a few more terms, maybe the next sucker will do like all the others and pretend to fix it, while spending it like crazy on all my colleagues ponzy organizations and agencies! Wonder what other agencies we can create when FEMA, DHS and TSA get the next terrorist attack to prove they are also worthless like all the others and just waste tax payers money?
