The Pork and Barrel State

"Government becomes the master of civil society, abel to mold and shape it." Peter F. Drucker

Action: "Draft a ballot petition for a balanced amendment in your city including annual increases in property taxes, like Proposition 13 in California. Then go to city council meetings and evaluate expenditures against budget limitations." Peter F. Drucker

Zero Base Budgeting. Three words that send Pork Barreling into a frenzy It's amazing to see how many $$'s get dropped from a budget that is zero base. I see this mostly in my charity work. Someone has developed a program which must compete on a zero base with other worthehile programs... but can't.

Be prepared though for "bone crushing" front and back room action".
