Not Performing Programs

This is a neat page.  Well, in theory at least.  Not quite so neat when you stop and think about it.  But it's good to see that somebody, somewhere in DC is following through on government transparency and accountability to its employers (us).  It definitely needs updating, though.

"Programs categorized as NOT PERFORMING have ratings of Ineffective or Results Not Demonstrated.

Ineffective. Programs receiving this rating are not using your tax dollars effectively. Ineffective programs have been unable to achieve results due to a lack of clarity regarding the program's purpose or goals, poor management, or some other significant weakness.

Results Not Demonstrated. A rating of Results Not Demonstrated (RND) indicates that a program has not been able to develop acceptable performance goals or collect data to determine whether it is performing.

Based on our most recent assessments, 20% of Federal programs are Not Performing."

Kind of ironic that typing into your address bar "expectmore.gov" redirects you to a site which is part of "whitehouse.gov"

The Dept of Health & Human Service (HHS) has over THIRTY (30) programs on this list! (see pp 2-3)

Over TWENTY-FIVE (25) of them received fed'l funding for FY08.  (I have no idea how/why the others did NOT receive it!)

Logic dictates that HHS will be playing a large role in any new gov't programs established as a result of the recently passed health care bill.

Either that, or Obama/Congress will pull a Bush-like "DHS" and establish an entirely new federal bureaucratic entity.

In either event, this website does not give a rosy outlook. . .

D'oh!

I had the wrong address in my earlier post regarding St. Baldrick's. The correct one to visit is http://www.stbaldricks.org/participants/lve4god

Thank you, come again!

Ye shall know the truth. . .

...and the truth shall set you free!

Thank God the years of lies, propaganda and pseudo-science appear to be coming to an end.
Here's hoping the American media and people can accept having the wool pulled OFF their eyes.
