Slimdown exposing 'bloated' gov't?

A LOOK THROUGH the slimdown contingency plans of the federal government shows some commissions and agencies have zero employees reporting for work, prompting watchdog groups to ask the question: Why do they even exist?

Wait, what?

"A look through the shutdown contingency plans of the federal government shows some little-known commissions and agencies -- like the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts and the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness -- don't have anybody reporting for work during the partial shutdown."

Yes...both agencies are non essential and should be axed in a long list. All of this mess has happened gradually over decades when we could afford this mess. That time has ended. The cost of the ACA will make lawmakers look long and hard at the low hanging fruit that can be cut. We simply can not afford to do everything now. We just enacted a government program larger than Social Security.03-idea

Tough choices are going to have to be made if the ACA remains law.

Other than hundreds of thousands of government workers and agencies, trillions of junk programs, etc.

Surprised she hasn't yet said, "You have to fund it, to know what's in it."

It is stunning how much money is wasted with idiotic agencies that do nothing.
