And as a side note, it would really be helpful if all regulations came with a sunset provision: Without reauthorization every four years or so (preferably by a Congressional vote), the regulation expires.
I wonder if any government agency or government program has ever been eliminated? Has any Congress ever decided that a particular issue has been resolved, so that there is no longer any need for such an agency?
I can think of some I would like to eliminate. For example, I don’t think the state of public education has improved since Jimmy Carter created the Department of Education. We would survive nicely if that bureaucracy closed down.
But just wondering if anyone has ever eliminated any government program?
