It seems to me that the top priority for enhancing the nation's security and well-being must include Energy Independence.
Without energy independence, the nation will always be subject to outside influence and foreign entanglements.
How could GAO leave list off their top 10?

They may have missed Energy Independence, but at least they got the Transition to Digital TV. We must keep our priorities straight.

The GAO got it exactly right. I hate to use the word "holocaust," but this seems to be what is facing our servicemen when they return to civilian life. After the Vietnam War, there were no legal precedents for denying veterans the preference in civil service employment that they had earned or for civilian employers with huge federal contracts flatly refusing to hire vets. Nevertheless, since I received my honorable discharge from the Air Force on Nov. 10, 1968, after two years of combat service in Vietnam, I have been denied all employment opportunity in the United States. The federal government and governments of three states have spent over a million dollars in legal costs just to prevent me from working as a civilian in the United States. Meanwhile, I was able to earn a living as a scientist by working for European and South American employers. Now the precedents have been set in the United States, and the returning veterans are really suffering, having been illegally fired from the good jobs they held when called to duty and facing the coming depression with only bills and no income. The government that sent them to war has set up the most corrupt agencies conceivable to assist them. The Veterans Employment and Training Service is useless. The Director of the Office of Special Counsel faces indictment for obstruction of justice. The Merit System Protection Board commits fraud routinely so that the agency always wins, and the veteran always loses. The suicide rate among veterans is high and increasing, and those who choose to live, will have to do so on the streets, just as more than a million of my fellow Vietnam vets have had to do for periods of time since the war. I expect that every politician will be thanking veterans on Tuesday, but you can be sure that none of them will be offering any of the returning military personnel a job.

GAO also left out the Department of Health and Human Services. HHS OIG has been allowing Federal HMO Hospital Insurance Fraud AGAINST Entitled Individuals in Region 5 HCFA since 1999 still pending Color of Law. The Federal Health Care Programs being defrauded by HHS OIG and U.S. Attorneys in Region 5 HCFA are ~ OPM FEHBP, HCFA Medicare\Medicaid, CHAMPVA and TRICARE ~ HHS T42CFR417.1 DENIAL of COVERED CLAIMS ~ RICO ~ Knowingly Failed to keep Individual's from harm 1998 HHS OIG Volentary Disclousure of Health Care Fraud Program: Illegal Immunity for Federal HMOs to conduct Felony Fraud against Entitled Individuals
