It also didn't include any courses in government, obviously. I'd say Carter is now the second worst President by miles. I've never seen the US in such a state of mindless chaos.

Proof that a Harvard educated Constitutional Lawyer with no real world experience has no business being in the business of government.

What did the company do with the hundreds of OTHER projects?

The private sector has MORE well run projects the the fed does. Hell, some complete agencies are wrought with waste, fraud, and abuse.

It is a bit of a stretch (sarcasm) to compare a few "federal operations" to an entire "major corporations".
I didn't. Sample of each obviously.

BarackO The Whackoâ„¢ will have this as his legacy: More corrupt than Nixon, more inept than Carter.

Your link speaks of government waste. But B. Obama has reduced government spending more than any president in the last 60 years.

When republicans speak of income redistribution they mean "taxing the rich and then giving that money to the poor." But today in America billionaire CEO's have lower tax rates than single Americans who make $100,000 a year.

Billionaire CEO Warren Buffets federal tax rate is 11%.
Warren Buffett's Effective Federal Income Tax Rate Was Just 11% - Forbes

While single Americans who make $100,000 a year pay over 20% in federal taxes. And non-CEO's who make over $410,000 a year are paying well over 30% federal tax rates.


The real income redistribution is rich CEO's having lower tax rates than regular Americans, and at the same time republicans giving the rich handouts like this.

Obama tried to pass a law called the "Buffet Rule" that would make rich CEO's pay the same tax rates as regular Americans, but republicans in congress blocked him.

Fact is rich CEO's have lower tax rates than regular Americans.

CEO Mitt Romney pays a 14% federal tax rate.
Romney paid 14% effective tax rate in 2011 - Sep. 21, 2012

And CEO Dick Cheney often pays a 6% federal tax rate, on his $9 million dollar personnel income.

The following link is a tax calculator.
Tax Brackets (Federal Income Tax Rates) 2000 through 2014

Single Americans making $100,000 a year pay 21% federal tax rates.

Non-CEO's making,
$200,000- 25% federal tax rate.
$300,000- 28% federal tax rate.
$850,000- 35% federal tax rate.

While millionaire/billionaire CEO's pay 15% or less federal tax rates.

Everyone uses the same tax codes.

It is the TYPE of income that makes a difference.

Buffet's income is from money that has been taxed when it was earned.

I am not going to try and explain this to you.

If you want to believe something so stupid......enjoy yourself.
