Hansel and Gretel and GAO

February 6, 2015.

Today I was going to write a parallel story with the Grimm tale "Hansel and Gretel" and ask my readers why no one picks up the crumbs that I have scattered and looked into the GOA documents that hold facts right there out in the open.  There is big news about Obama wanting to add 74 Billion to the budget - but no watch dog even looks at what happened to the $14 Billion of the Gulf rebuild programme.  The dropping of the crumbs was the only part of the story that I remembered off the top of my head so I did refresh my memory by reading it again only to see the story in a new light.

The family of four were hungry - so the parents, father and step mother agreed to bring the children to the woods and leave them there.  Nice!  The father actually tricks the children with the log swinging in the wind to mimic the sound of wood chopping, so he is not without guilt either.
eventually, Hansel and Gretel end up at the tasty cottage of the witch, who eats children no less.
More nice.  Hansel outsmarts the witch by sticking out a bone for her to feel instead of his finger as she tests if he is getting fatter and ready for her recipe.  Pretty creative survival skills I would say, and then Gretel, outsmarts the witch with the oven door trick.  And then they live happily ever after because they find their way home and the step mother has died.

So I can't really make too many parallels with the Grimm tale and my tale, no one has nibbled at any of the crumbs that I dropped,  obviously my tale is not that crumby!   Today's post is only to drop another hint into the universe That my post on JANUARY 19, 2015 is the important story to investigate.  The tale is not so much about Greg, even less about me - but the story is following the money trail.
