Why doesn't government just merge/blend overlapping agencies?


Posted: Mar 12, 2011

That's something no one is even thinking about.  How many agencies overlap? I do not know what these overlapping agencies consist of, but it's something that needs to be addressed. Those cuts alone should save bucks. The link posted only shows a file cabinet and how many agencies overlap. There's no way to see into those "drawers". I wish they would have included that info.

That's actually something we can probably all agree on, getting rid of overlapping agencies - I am for that

That sounds like a practical solution to start cutting. I'm for it!

It's No Revelation That Intelliigence Agencies Jan 19, 2017
Furor has arisen over President-elect Donald Trump's charges that our intelligence agencies are politicized. Spare us the outrage. For decades, directors of intelligence agencies have often quite inappropriately massaged their assessments to fit administration agendas. Careerists at these agencies naturally want to continue working from one administration to the next in "the king is dead; long live the king!" style. So they make the necessary political adjustments, which are sometim ...

What Will The Federal Bureaucrats Do When Their AgenciesDec 17, 2016

Why do Democrats think it okay for Obama to force us to buy health insurance but for government to stay out of our bedrooms?  Why is it okay in some cases but not in others.  I am a healthy person and rarely need any healthcare.  Why should I subsidize people who make unhealthy decisions?  I think we need to have affordable catastrophic health insurance but we don't need to provide insurance for hang nails or the sniffles. ...

We Own The GovernmentOct 10, 2013
In the current fight over the government shutdown, Republicans are simply representing the views of the American people. Americans didn't ask for Obamacare, they don't want it, but now their insurance premiums are going through the roof, their doctors aren't accepting it, and their employers are moving them into part-time work -- or firing them -- to avoid the law's mandates. Contrary to Obama's promises, it turns out: You can't keep your doctor, you can't ...

The heads of those agencies, in turn, insisted they knew nothing about major decisions by the ...
