Least Essential? Some agencies have 0 employees on job during slimdown | Fox News
Fiscal hawks say the silver lining to the partial government shutdown, which is entering its second week of scaled-back services, could be the picture of government waste it paints for taxpayers.
A look through the shutdown contingency plans of the federal government shows some little-known commissions and agencies -- like the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts and the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness -- don't have anybody reporting for work during the partial shutdown.
The ability of the government to run without any of the people from any of these agencies on the clock is prompting some watchdog groups to question why, then, do the agencies need to exist in the first place?
Think of all the money we could save as a nation, Judicial Watch said in an Oct. 7 post. Besides bringing attention to these largely unheard of agencies, the shutdown caused by Congresss inability to agree on a funding bill is also shedding light on just how bloated the federal government is, with an astounding workforce thats seen nearly 800,000 furloughed this week.
That's funny , no one knows or even gives a shit there gone, what a worthless Government we have . Probably all of Obamas cousins work in these made-up commissions.
