their offices, their benefits? These are nothing more than short cut organizations around other organizations already in place to do the very same thing. They also allow the bypassing of Congress in specific instances as the report directly to the POTUS. So we have an oblique message that they too know the Congress is an ineffective body. And like most big organizations....they never fix or eliminate what does not work...they just add staff around it....hence gargantuan increases in spending. This usually gets caught sooner or later in organizations that need to show a profit. In the case of the government....the sky is the limit. No end to their money supply....no accountability for spending....and no objections from the constituency.

I would love to see a survivor mentality approach be taken by the government as is done by big and small for profit businesses every day.
Unfortunately the incompetents in Washington are not capable.
