For example “82 programs to improve teacher quality; 56 programs to bolster financial literacy; and more than 24 presidentially appointed individuals in several agencies with some responsibility for bio-defense.”
Are our congressmen and women insane or do they not spend enough time reading legislation and checking for duplicity?

So...82 programs and we STILL don't have quality teachers?

That should say something right there!

You omit the third possibility: that they WANT it to be a confused, jumbled mess of duplicated programs, in order to maximize opportunities for featherbedding, giving grants to cronies, and general embezzling.

Remember, government jobs and programs mainly benefit Democrat constituencies.
