How about the $200,000 that

Clinton-Gore gave to the U.N. as seed money to mobilize a

worldwide standby army for peacekeeping operations? This

item was "buried" in a State Department

appropriation and may not ever earn us credit on our

"overdue" payments. Will we also subtract the

cost of all our own peacekeeping operations for UN from

that bill? Could certainly save 1 percent here!

Don't overlook the

Department of Education. They have lost $120 billion in

"inauditable" funds, according to a private

auditing firm. A separate audit at the Interior

Department found $2.4 billion missing and a department

lawyer swore that he was ordered to shred documents

regarding the funds disposition. Surely, one could find a

1 percent savings here!

No wonder the President

proposed $90 billion in tax increases in his last budget

- he needed to cover all the lost, misappropriated

and (who knows?) stolen taxpayer money. (Maybe it's in

the Democratic National Committee coffers along with all

those Loral, Hughes, and Red Chinese funds.)

We taxpayers will remember

HUD, State, Interior, Education, DNC, the tax cut we

didn't get, and the Clinton-Gore Administration's

"decade of deceit" next November. How many more

days?
