The U.S. Department of Energy was created in 1977 to lessen our nation’s dependence on foreign oil.

The department has ballooned to 16,000 employees, with a budget of $24 billion a year, and we still import huge quantities of foreign oil.

The government had 39 years to get it right, and it is an abysmal failure. You have failed in every “government service” you have shoved down our throats, while overspending our tax dollars. And you want Americans to believe you can be trusted with a government-run health-care system.

Someone please tell me what is wrong with all the people who run this country!

We’re “broke” and can’t help our seniors, veterans, orphans and homeless. Yet in the past months we have provided aid to Haiti, Chile, Egypt, Turkey and now Pakistan ( the previous home of Osama bin Laden). It’s literally billions of dollars.

Imagine if the government gave the U.S. the same support it gives to them. If you want this to continue as is, vote for Hillary Clinton.

If you want America to be great again, vote for Donald Trump.
