Government Efficiency?

OK, let's all say it together...oxymoron...I do have hope that the US budget eventually gets balanced and we don't leave ourselves in a continual black hole of debt that gets passed on to future generations. I do think it's we voters that must insist on a balanced budget though as I 'm not at all convinced that the White House or Congress has the motivation or inclination to do the right thing. Oh yeah, about that government efficiency thing (not that I am overly pessimistic, but...):
