anew. We have too many agencies and layers as it is--it's governmental-crony welfare, and Bush was the one who did it.

Jeez--Clinton and Gore chopped out a ton of deadwood out of the federal government--BushCo replanted with fast-growing weeds.

Welfare for psychos, training in bad citizenship, pretty much failures at any real aspects of their job.

I can't see a reason in the world for their existence.
