Was told 10% couldn't be done. Sure it can, did so as a public servant in Texas...it can be done and needs to be done, yesterday

We have entire departments (Education, Energy) that do nothing but move $$$ around (nearly always to their favorites). They don't need a 10% cut, they need one at or near 100%.
