1. Research federal agencies and explain which one you feel is the most important one and why?
I think that every federal agency is important and has a purpose in our society but if I had to choose one, I would pick the Council on Environment Quality. As I'm sure a lot of you know by now, I'm a huge supporter in protecting the future of our planet and making it a healthier place to live. I like that the CEQ works to protect the environment.
2. Which federal agency could be terminated with the least impact (if any) and why?
This is a difficult question, because like I said in question one, I think that every federal agency has a purpose. Gosh, this is hard to answer. I've been sitting here for ten minutes and I just cannot come up with one. I guess I'll say the Office of Foreign Missions. Even though I think that going to other countries can be important and times, I don't really think that our country is so consumed with our own problems that no one would really noticed if we terminated this federal agency.
3. Are any new agencies needed? In other words, if you were president would you create new agencies? If so, in what area(s)?
I'm not so sure that I could think of a new agency if I became president. I think that our country has a very large amount of federal agencies to the point where pretty much every topic you could think of is covered. Though I'm sure over time more issues will come up and more agencies will be made.

I agree with you on not coming up with other agency. I think the country has so many now than everything I can think of is covered. There are so many. There are some agencies that have parent agencies. I can understand why there are some with parent agencies, but there are so many that it is hard to come up with a new one. To go with your second answer, I think every agency is important, but I think we could combine some of the agencies together to make the list smaller. Not get rid of them completely just combine some.
ReplyDeleteGreat job I agree about foreign missions. All agencies are pretty much covered in doing their jobs.
ReplyDeleteI agree i cant come up with any other agency. The list is crazy and i think that everything is covered. However im sure in time new things will pop up and new agencys will be created.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about a new agency. I had a hard time trying to figure out what I would make. THere are so many different ones that cover everything. You are right though as time goes by I'm sure there are more issues that come up and people will probably come up with more agencies.I had a feeling you would pick something to do with the environment. I honestly do not keep up with much of it to know a lot about it but It is nice to know someone keeps up with it. :)
ReplyDeleteAre you sure they are protecting it and not causing any harm? EPA destroys the Americans economy save the environment from what? I think if we can save the planet we all should try. What if it isn't there anymore? I still think DOD Department of Defense is all wrong. I don't feel we need any new ones we have enough anyway.The DOD keeps us from being attacked at random.
ReplyDeleteI think there are more important agencies than environmental ones. Ones protecting our country from terrorists and the ones that inspect our food and drugs, are more important. That's just my opinion. I also had a hard time trying to think of new agencies. They seem to already cover every issue that needs covering.
ReplyDeleteI agree that there aren't really any new agencies needed but i believe that there are several agencies that are redundant that can be done away with without much impact on our government or nation. I also wrote about the importance on the EPA and agree that they are a very important agency concerning the longevity of our country.
