A-Z Index of U.S. Government Departments and Agencies

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi says Republican-led efforts to rein in government spending are pointless because there is nothing left to cut in the almost $4 trillion-a-year federal budget.

“The cupboard is bare. There’s no more cuts to make. It’s really important that people understand that,” Mrs. Pelosi, California Democrat, said in an interview broadcast Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Sounds to me like there is $4 Trillion to cut from somewhere.

We could start by cutting Pelosi’s microphone feed. Nothing worth listening to ever comes out of that.

After that, we could completely cut funding to every alphabet agency in existence, starting with the Bureau of Land Management and immediately following up with the Department of Homeland Security. All their cool, expensive toys could be redirected to use by the Army.

Intentional deception for political gain should be punished by deportation and stripping of citizenship.

May I suggest a "Governmental Reduction of Egregious Expenditures and Disbusments" program or for short a GREED program. In which for every 10 dollars that one of the departments or agencies come in under budget then 1 dollar will then be distributed evenly to all employees of that department or agency tax free. The cost savings would be amazing ounce the power of the GREED program is implemented.

Prolly not. They just keep adding new ones with catchy names that sound like they’ll actually do something or be beneficial to somebody. Yeah, themselves.

There’s no more cuts to make.

Maybe in your bird-brain.
I offer the following, just for a start:

BLM - Disband
EPA - Diaband
BATF&E - drastically reduce size
DoE(education) - disband
Give me 10 minutes and I'll come up with a dozen more...

African Development Foundation

The African Development Foundation provides grants to community groups and small enterprises that benefit under-served and marginalized groups in Africa.

There are HUNDREDS of agencies like these that produce ABSOLUTELY nothing and spend MILLIONS upon MILLIONS just so they can say they "care"

BLM - Disband

Amen. Let the states set up their own independent bureaus. Abuses will still occur, but not on the level of the Feds.
