It lists 429 agencies in the government now

This is exactly the government the Founders warned about.

The easiest and quickest fix is to move all the HQ out of Washington DC and place them in a remote location with horrid winters.

Most employees would bail in a hurry.

You remember how Elon Musk fired 80% of the staff at Twitter and things only worked better?

Taxpayers have long been footing the bill for comparable 80%s at many federal agencies, of course, when a very large percentage are just dead weight. They collect paychecks, benefits left-and-right, and build up pensions that our children and grandchildren will be stuck paying, lest they get visited by those 80,000 additional IRS agents.

We should use Washington D.C., as a place for museums.

Relocate the White House to Camp David.

Congress should meet in Chicago. Basically, it's in mid-America so the location is perfect.

The Supreme Court should be relocated to somewhere like Santa Fe, New Mexico.

We should eliminate most of our federal agencies. But we should keep a couple of them like the IRS but relocate it to Denver, Colorado.

The Pentagon can probably stay as it is. The MIC will disappear if the swamp is gone in D.C.

I took my kids to DC to see the monuments and the Smithsonian a long time ago. I was walking down a street and saw massive office buildings. One is the USDA. Another was the dept of Education. These buildings were huge with a lot of windows. I got to thinking about how many people occupy those buildings and the fact that I pay for all of their salaries and bennies.

Maddening.

The Pentagon seems to be like big floating targets.

Put all the employees on aircraft carriers.

Lol.

I guarantee they’re doing more than just tearing ‘W’s off keyboards.

I read something with regard to the DNC being in Chicago…

The state of Illinois has 7,000 units of government while the state of Delaware has 400.

Imagine what the feds have…

What is going on in Federal Agencies in the third week of August?

Nothing. Nothing happens anywhere in government during the third week of August.

Seriously. If we can’t count all the agencies in the federal government on the fingers of two hands, and if every primary school child can’t memorize them and the basics of what they do, then government is too big.

I worked for a city in a summer job. It was a group of 30 employees, mostly students like me. There were only 3 of us that were actually working. I confronted the supervisor and asked why so many people with so few working. He told me that the size of his department was budgeted, and if he shrank it, his budget would be reduced. That is how bureaucracy works.
