A couple dozen of those are constitutional.

 

[Bunz]

Well if you break down all the various committees then sure, but which ones of these are you suggesting are unconstitutional?

Secenca, which would you get rid of off the bat?

 

[Dr.Who]

Just to pick one that stood out kind of at random, I would get rid of voice of America, the foreign propaganda radio station that is not a part of the military but is just a PR tool.

Yeah.....what "Great American" would want to bother with a bunch o' talkin', when a good ol' U.S. Military body-count is so-much-more GLORIOUS!!!

[GenSeneca]

Well if you break down all the various committees then sure, but which ones of these are you suggesting are unconstitutional?

Damn near all of them.... See below.

Secenca, which would you get rid of off the bat?

I'll use just the ones from the A column:

* Administration for Children and Families (ACF)
* Administration for Native Americans
* Administration on Aging (AoA)
* Administration on Developmental Disabilities
* Advisory Council on Historic Preservation
* African Development Foundation
* Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ)
* Agency for International Development
* Agricultural Marketing Service
* Agricultural Research Service
* AMTRAK (National Railroad Passenger Corporation)
* Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
* Appalachian Regional Commission
* Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (Access Board)
* Arctic Research Commission
* Arms Control and International Security
* Arthritis and Musculoskeletal Interagency Coordinating Committee

I would challenge the constitutionality of all those departments and agencies, as well as eliminate them if given the opportunity.

I wager I'd be hard pressed to find 5 worthy of keeping.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

* AMTRAK (National Railroad Passenger Corporation)

Yeah.....that'll show them, there socialists!!!



Hell, we might end-up using some o' that, there scientific Black Magic, next!!!!

Under what constitutional authority does the government operate AMTRAK?

Please... use colors, smilies and irrelevant links to answer.... I would expect no less from the intellectual leader of the Progressives here on the forum.

And does anyone want to hazard a guess as to how much money AMTRAK takes in for every dollar of ticket sold? Hint: it is more than the cost of a ticket.
