Why was [...]

In the private sector, a company will spend millions of dollars on a single executive’s pay each year.  This isn’t because the companies are wasteful [...]

I’ll typically either have several programs that I flip between, or I channel surf, until something strikes my interest. Today was different though.

They have done research on almost 30 different government organizations’ spending. In their list they identify ways that these agencies can cut costs so that ultimately we end up paying less in taxes.The [...]
