See if you can fill in the blank with the correct organization:
It’s inexcusable that we are still experiencing the ridiculous fiscal mismanagement that occurs within ____. Repeated human error tells me that there’s a systemic problem in the organization. It seems to me that this is not something they can continue to be responsible for.
On first glance, you'd be forgiven for thinking that the organization being referred to here is "Congress." Butyou'd be wrong. In fact, it's a member of Congress that's doing the complaining, if you can believe it! Politico reports that Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) made the comments to the Capitol Police after they made a $5.5 million error. If you think it's crazy that members of Congress would criticize anyone for "fiscal mismanagement," you'll love her proposed solution:
[Rep. Schultz], chairwoman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on the Legislative Branch, told House Sergeant at Arms Bill Livingood Wednesday that she is ready to take action against Morse and his department – action that could include turning the department’s budget process back over to the legislative branch or to a government contractor that deals with federal budgets.Now, that will fix things!
