Many people wrongly assume that the government has been sitting around doing nothing about the ever-growing budget problems the country faces, but that is far from the truth.
(prHWY.com) November 16, 2012 - Seattle, WA -- Many people wrongly assume that the government has been sitting around doing nothing about the ever-growing budget problems the country faces, but that is far from the truth. It appears as if an anonymous worker held the answer to the government's budget woes, but was unable to implement it due to it getting lost in a mass pile of papers.
"It appears as if one of our employees we tasked with discovering a way out of the budget crisis did in deed find a solution", said an anonymous source who serves on the financial committee for the government. "We are a bit embarrassed by why this solution was not discovered earlier and it will not happen again."
The employee that discovered the solution to the budget crisis wrote it down on the government required forms. The forms were then sent directly to a supervisor who placed them in a stack of papers. The forms then got lost in the shuffle.
"We just had too many papers come in and out of the office", said the anonymous source. "We couldn't keep track of what was new and what was old. Unfortunately, we lost a very important and critical paper that could have changed the history of our government for all we know."
The forms detailing the new budget solution were discovered while the office was transitioning into using a managed document reviews system. The system took physical papers and put them onto a central computer server. This eliminated the piles of physical paper that was located in the offices and could help eliminate problems such as the lost forms.
"Our ultimate goal is to prevent anyone losing papers like this ever again", said the source. "That was one of the reasons we implemented the
managed document review system. We now have everything in a digital copy; we don't have it on paper so it can't get lost."
When asked by a reporter as to why the budget solution was not being implemented immediately, the anonymous source was a little reluctant to answer the question. It appears as if the budget solution dates back to 2010.
"Unfortunately, the solution no longer applies to our current budget crisis", said the source. "We might not be in the situation we are in now if we had found the papers in time. The new system we implemented will prevent that from ever happening. If a solution presents itself, it won't be lost in paperwork that's for sure."
