Agencies that work for the federal government spend 9% of their budgets in the last week of their fiscal year. They're afraid that, if they don't spend it all, their budget will get cut. At WPAFB, they typically buy a bunch of new office furniture and throw out the stuff they bought the year before.
Ten percent! There's your deficit right there! How about this idea: they plow that money back and aren't penalized. In fact, 10% of that money is randomly assigned in $2000 bonuses to some of the agencies workers.
People rush out to play Powerball; they would LOVE these odds. I would!
