Brainfade Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Hope you keep this up. The govt needs streamlining and you are taking the first necessary step. http://www.cnn.com/2012/01/13/politics/obama-federal-government/index.html?hpt=hp_t3 President Barack Obama asked Congress Friday for more power to streamline and reorganize the federal government, a move designed to claim the political middle ground in an election likely to be dominated by questions about Washington's role in the economy. The president asked legislators to grant him the authority to merge agencies that perform similar functions. If that power is granted, Congress would be required to hold an up-or-down vote on the president's streamlining plan within 90 days of its submission. Among other things, the president's plan would combine several agencies that focus on commerce and trade, including the Small Business Administration, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, the Export-Import Bank, the Overseas Private Investment Corp. and the Trade and Development Agency. :hatsoff:
Clarke Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 Wasn't the streamlining of the military far more crucial with a bigger impact on issues like debt ? Why didn't you open a thread on that you military hawk :P jk
