Enough

The government has enough of our hard earned money to spy indiscriminately on every American contra-Constitutionally, for threatening yet another war in the Middle East, and for various other things that are blatant wastes of treasure, but they apparently don’t have enough money for a . . . fax machine, rendering it impossible for the military to process Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) requests.

Despite receiving hundreds of billions of dollars in annual taxpayer funding, a surprising bit of news was reported about the Department of Defense on Thursday: one of its busiest Freedom of Information Act offices cannot afford to immediately replace a fax machine used to process information requests.

But the news, first reported by FOIA-specializing primary source publisher MuckRock, isn’t so dire, according to the employee whose words prompted the Sept. 12 article that said the only fax machine in the Office of the Secretary of Defense/Joint Staff FOIA department is not currently functional, and might not be replaced until November.

The culprit? You guessed it . . . SEQUESTRATION!!!!!
