The Federal Register is supposed to be a repository of what’s going on in the government, but a new study released Tuesday says its records are so out-of-date that it lists 75 agencies that no longer exist.
Many were created as temporary agencies, while others have since been absorbed into other government work, according to Open the Books, the watchdog group that conducted the study.
The Air Quality National Commission, for example, was terminated in 1981. Amtrak’s Reform Council hasn’t been in operation for more than two decades.
But both still have Federal Register webpages. More
Now research how many are still being funded.
Follow the money.
I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that there are thousands of people all over he country earning six figure federal paychecks who literally haven’t done a second of real work in decades. What a ridiculous fucking country we’ve become.
No accountability. Period.
Also….the last best guess is that American taxpayers foot the bill for over THREE MILLION federal government employees, not counting the nearly TWO MILLION employees of the U.S. military (I don’t know if either figure includes federal government contractors, but I don’t think so.).
This is absurd.
SEVENTY FIVE AGENCIES THAT NO LONGER EXIST BUT ARE ON THE RECORD????? HOW MUCH FUCKING MONEY IS GOING TO THE LIKES OF BIDEN, PELOSI AND MCCONNELL THROUGH THESE GHOST AGENCIES????????????????????????
Who ever wrote this bull shit is dumber than a box of rox. Federal Agencies never die. They just change names. What’s the new name for The Air Quality National Commission? Ya give up yet?
It’s the EPA. I shit you not.
How does an agency terminated in 1981 have a web page to begin with…..?
Get rid of the entire federal government and force the Congress to vote publicly to put back in place what we actually need. The ONLY way to set things right.
^^^^^^ Until your food stamps run out.

It’s not just the left and the corrupt feds who threaten us, but the lunatics they created: welcome to the egan TERRORISTS behind the recent murder of a Border Patrol agent in Vermont:
Maximilian Snyder, a 22-year-old data scientist arrested in Northern California on Friday on suspicion of murder, and Teresa Youngblut, the 21-year-old computer science student charged last week in connection with the shooting death of U.S. Border Patrol Agent David Maland, appear to follow a fringe, self-described “vegan Sith” ideology that started in the Bay Area and has connections to violence, according to police records, an interview with a person familiar with the group, and years of social media and blog posts reviewed by Open Vallejo.

This is how we (yes, we, the taxpayers) finance the various spook agencies and “secret” labs all over the world – as well as to provide slush funds for politicians and deep-state bureaucrats.
And then there’s Lieawatha Warren’s shakedown racket, the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau. It has managed to withstand PDT and SCOTUS challenges.
I think the feds should follow Texas’ example for 86-ing useless agencies.
We have a Sunset Commission that assesses if an agency needs to go. Agencies MUST be re-approved “typically another 12 years”.
The Feds have been in dire need of this for several decades.

They got rid of the Structural Pest Control Board because they became corrupt. It had representatives from different pest control companies coming in for a few years’ stint and even plain ol’ citizens were part of it. The pest control guys started targeting their competitors for stringent inspections and laid as many fines on them as they could muster.
Sunset Commission put an end to that. I am now directly under the Texas Dept of Ag., (The first field inspectors were really bad. I had to help my first field inspector get through it completely, but they’re OK now.)
