They are not hiding anything unless they pull a Hitlery. The problem is FOIAs are open to everyone. Even non-citizens. So YOU spend your taxes paying ME to research for a foreigner so that he can (1) write his book, or (2) file a claim against the US government.

Then there are the ones that ask for information on broad topics to tie up the government.

Now how does it sound? There are items I see everyday that are classified in order to keep it out of the media. If I speak up....I'm a homeless vet with no prospect of another job at my age.

The long and short of it is: if the whistle blower program was run by an outside agency, there are government employees that would keep everyone honest. As for FOIA, it needs to be scoped down so that it is not abused.

So what? Every thing is done by hand? Hard copy memos and docs? That's a joke.

You're a bureaucrat? Has government ever heard of computers or software which could easily separate classified/secret from public information? ??

This is insane Mr. Salvavida. People should be able to access this crap from their personal computers. It's either public information or it's not. Government has no way of separating the two? lol...You guys still do it by hand right?

Didn't Obama spend over a BILLION dollars on his Obamacare website?

Other than destroying our country and causing utter chaos, does government anything right?
