Whoops!

"Instead of pounding the pavement and knocking on doors, the corner-cutting people-counters mined the phone book and Internet to make up answers to questionnaires, regional director Tony Farthing said.

The managers - turned in by whistleblower employees - were caught last week. Now, at least 10,000 surveys need to be done or redone, officials said.

"....'Basically, people were being asked to forge [questionnaires],' said one worker in the North East Brooklyn office, which covers 95,000 households..."

Okay, so what if we have incompetents goofing off, not enforcing regulations, not performing their assigned duties, taking bribes and perks from those they regulate, and watching porn while on the job in the MMS, Census, SEC and any other federal agencies?? This will never happen with federally controlled health care. Never, never, never, ever... never, with the democrats in control and especially not ever, with 0bama in the White House!!
