This Week in Government Failure

Over at Downsizing Government ^[1], we focused on the following issues this week:

Downsizing’s new Department of Transportation ^[2] website is up and running!
A new essay on “Overpaid Federal Workers ^[3]” is also up and it’s already generating a lot of buzz in the media.
Amtrak’s ^[4] reputation for financial shenanigans lives on.
Kudos to the Washington Post for pointing out what we’ve been saying for a while: “regime uncertainty ^[5]” is stifling the economy’s ability to recover.
President Obama’s lieutenants have instructed federal agencies to come up with spending cuts equal to five percent of their discretionary budgets for fiscal year 2012. 2012? Why wait?!?! ^[6]
