Treating gov't programs like outdated military bases
by Guest Blogger, 5/23/2005
It has been threatened for a while now, and now a bill has been introduced: Rep. Todd Tiahrt has introduced a bill that, like the same bill introduced several times by Sen. Sam Brownback, would create a "Results Commission" charged with reviewing government programs (supposedly for waste and duplication) and recommending the restructuring of government agencies to eliminate or weaken the vitality of those programs. (More information.)
This very bill has been introduced repeatedly over the years, but this year the White House is also calling for this very proposal.
