Can anyone name a government agency that was disbanded in the last 50 years?

Anyone?

I can't. It's likely because it effects the unemployment number, and the people you fired will all vote for the other party.

Can we go ahead and throw the DEA into the mix?

I'd also like to bring up the name of Lon Horiuchi. May his family bear his disgrace to the 3rd and 4th generations.

The Jamie Gorelick of the FBI.

No, but I'm pretty sure there have been several smaller ones either disbanded or merged into another, larger agency.

Why don't get rid of the agency with less seniority first? Start with the DHS.



Good point. Let's get rid of both of them.

Can we just go ahead and throw the EPA, DHHS, and the IRS in there too?

I'd like to add the Departments of Energy, Labor and Education for your review.

Don't consolidate; eliminate.

According to Sensenbrenner there are two main goals for the legislation, "to eliminate and reduce duplicative functions and waste to the maximum extent possible, and to report to Congress with a detailed plan on how the transition will take place."

The legislation comes after years of corruption, Operation Fast and Furious and after a series of ATF stings in Sensenbrenner's home state of Wisconsin where agents took advantage of mentally disabled teenagers by giving them neck tattoos and teaching them how to commit crimes. ATF agents also lost track of a fully-automatic machine gun in Milwaukee after it was stolen from an unattended government vehicle.

Yes or no, in your opinion?

Consolidate doesn't count cause we'd still be paying their arse to do the nothing they're doing now.

The fact that no one can name one is indicative of how realistic this is. Pipe dream folks........
