Government often has 10 agencies doing one job

WASHINGTON — A new government report on duplication and fragmentation in federal programs can read like a book of "screw-in-a-light-bulb" jokes.

It takes 10 different offices at the Department of Health and Human Services to run programs addressing AIDS in minority communities. Autism research is spread out over 11 different agencies. Eight agencies at the Defense Department are looking for prisoners of war and missing in action. And Schriever Air Force Base in Colorado has eight different satellite control centers to control 10 satellite programs.

Does this surprise any of you? Another GAO report that will do nothing but gather dust after the initial BS rant about “doing something”. Nothing will EVER get done to fix this. Especially with Democrats in charge!

Did you even bother to listen to yourself?

"It takes 10 different offices at the Department of Health and Human Services to run programs addressing AIDS in minority communities."
You're trying to imply that there is something wrong with this, correct? Would you prefer fewer agencies addressing AIDS in minority communities? Or perhaps you are going for the obviously wrong argument that AIDS in minority communities can be better addressed if we consolidate all of the various competing government agencies into one big government super-agency, right?

"Autism research is spread out over 11 different agencies."
Again, is this supposed to be a bad thing? MORE government agencies should be researching autism. MORE universities, public schools, and private enterprises should also be researching autism. Or is this another call for a one-world government super-agency to handle all autism research?

"Eight agencies at the Defense Department are looking for prisoners of war and missing in action."
Only eight? Again, there should be more government agencies looking for POW/MIAs.

"And Schriever Air Force Base in Colorado has eight different satellite control centers to control 10 satellite programs."
Who would have ever thought that running an up-to-the-minute global spy network would be so complicated, right? Some satellites are used for weather reports, other satellites are used for air traffic control, others are used to defend America against terrorism. Different uses require different people to conduct those actions. Are you trying to argue for ending all of those government and private contractor jobs and putting those Americans in a bread line, or are you trying to argue in favor of a one-world super-government agency to control all satellites everywhere?

What is the point here?

No - what I would like to see is one program centralized in one agency!

Tremendous reduction in overhead costs and concentration of effort. Let's not even discuss the savings of YOUR tax $$$$$!

That you don't understand the point just re-enforces your lack of comprehension.
