You might be interested in knowing that there are more than 1300 federal agencies, employing nearly 2.5 million people, one million more than we have in all five branches of the military. 97.6 percent of them are serving in the executive branch, and these numbers do not include national security agency employees such as at the Mapping Agency, the CIA, or the NSA.
And MANY, MANY of them perform redundant functions. Rush was talking about 8 federal departments had a total of 59 agencies which all did basically the same thing. Seems to me that it is ripe for doing away with 58 programs and the vast majority of people who work there.
