You are correct in your statements. However you should add item #4 to the statements.
Item #4 should be to review and immediately identify and end “OVERLAP.” ALL governmental offices strive to do the work and obtain the responsibility of some other governmental agency’s chartered functions so that they can “empire build” and grow larger.
Government overlap is tremendous and you might have 150 agencies doing at least some of the duties that duplicate the original chartered agency’s founding duties.
On top of that, the CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) has grown to the point that it is almost impossible to actually pin down any SINGLE agency’s regulations that don’t conflict with some other agency that has encroached upon their founding charter.
What all of this amounts to is a massive expenditure of taxpayer money to pay for governmental functions that only need ONE agency to run...not hundreds of them.
