Proof Of What I Say – Bureaucrats Get Upset When Jobs Threatened

J.J. Jackson | June 10, 2009 

Every time I dare breathe the truth about bureaucrats in government, that they are not there to help the people their programs are supposed to help but really just there to collect paychecks and that they will fight tooth and nail to keep their shallow, unfulfilling, and often unconstitutional jobs, I get inundated with angry emails from these same bureaucrats telling me how wrong I am about them. As evidence however of what I claim, let us look at California which is drowning in a sea of failed liberal ideas. These liberal ideas believe that you can take money from one pocket and put in into another and keep doing so forever without consequence. However, as we all know, California is a clear cut case of socialism run amok.

They cannot raise taxes high enough to pay for everything they want to do in the bureaucracy because the tax payers are telling them that they have had enough. As such California has to cut back. One of the agencies on the chopping block is a program called CalWORKs which liberals just gush about but in reality is sucking money out of the economy to pay bureaucrats to do things that people can, and usually do, do for themselves.

CalWORKs stands for “California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids” and is also known as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). It is, basically, your tried and failed welfare program providing state cash aide to adults and children of adults who (according to the website) are dead, disabled, unemployed, continuously absent or in jail. You know, taking over the role of the family that used to be done by other family members before they destroyed the concept of the family unit.

This has workers in the program in high dudgeon giving the same typical and inane responses. Workers such as Bruce Wagstaff,who director of the Department of Human Assistance in Sacramento. Bruce here feigns that the world will now end if funding for CalWORKs is touched.

“It’s difficult to come up with the right adjective to react to this,” Wagstaff said. “It would be devastating to the people we serve.”

Gee, how ever did they survive before Mr. Wagstaff and CalWORKs? Thank GOD for the government huh? Let’s be honest here. The people you “serve” are probably more competent than you and will survive just fine. It is his own skin he is worried about. Because let’s face facts. If CalWORKs were such a good idea then it would survive without government funding. But like all other social Welfare programs it is nothing but a drain on resources.

Oh well, guess people will have to go back to the way things used to be and ask for help from their fellow man voluntarily and seek assistance from their family, friends and charity. There just isn’t as much call for “government bureaucrats” these days so Mr. Wagstaff will have to get retrained in a hurry!

    No worry for Mr. Wagstaff, all he has to do now is get a Federal Job instead. Just look at all the job announcements at Homeland Security and you get the idea that jobs in the Fed are as plentiful as the taxpayers have money!
