American Thinker
How many federal agencies do we pay for? I bet you think, as I once did, that a quick internet search would tell. But researching for an essay a couple of years ago, I found numbers varying from 78 to 158, and websites saying the exact number was impossible to determine.
Looking at the USA.gov website recently, I discovered a tab for Federal Agencies A to Z (actually there are none past W). Scrolling around the list for two days, subtracting duplicate listings, like Useless Policy, Office of and Office of Useless Policy, I counted 456 [emphasis added] (and a few more as I checked some links while drafting this essay).

If I were president (which of course I would actually need to try…), first thing I would do is make every single person paid by Executive Branch prove his worth – every department, etc. Basically, like an efficiency consultant I would make everyone reapply for their own job. Of course there would be some logistics involved in managing this but I think it could be done within a couple of years. And then would get rid of positions, departments, vast swaths of wasteful spending.
Next, I would follow Herman Cain’s advice and only sign bills that were less than 3 pages long and addressed a single issue. Including ‘omnibus’ bills – in fact especially omnibus bills – the purpose of which is to hide spending.

The American ‘state’ is the equivalent of the European ‘King.’

Pelosi: “There’s nothing left to cut…”
When she said that I never wanted to kill someone simply by thought as much as I did then.
I had a neighbor who retired from a federal government job that he worked in for 40 years.
It was classified as agricultural assistance to third world nations. This guy was a real Forest Gump. He couldn’t grow a tomato plant, I swear. I suspect that he was hired to fill an official position just to justify the payroll deposits that were paid into the Ghost agency each year.
Where is the “Ministry of Silly Walks”?
I believe there is still a federal “tea taster” office….
72 years ago a conservative, “D”, union president said, ” government agencies and programs never die!”! He was right then, and (were he alive) right now!
It’s almost like we need an accounting department or something…
Those useless agencies are hidden shells for those governmental greed-infested zombies.
