Return to Article: Government Reform Committee backs federal program reviews

Oh look. Another reporting law that federal agencies will find a way around just as they have so many others. Why does the Congress keep creating these reports when they know that many of the reporting agencies slant the numbers to their advantage. Some, just flat out lie.
It's like the story of the emperor's new clothes. Everybody knows that the reports don't accurately reflect where funds came from and went to and no one is held accountable for accuracy. But, nobody has the guts to do anything about it. Or..., is it that Congressional representatives had no real intent of seeing that the law is enforced?
If Congress ever hopes to acheive any meaningful reform, they have to have real accountability. When managers in agencies like DOD and the Labor Department are actually brought to trial for violating federal laws and lying on their reports to Congress, we just might sart seeing the ugly truth on paper.
Imagine the impact if just one or two managers are convicted for lying on their agency's fiscal report to the Congress?
