All these offices are practically functionally useless with redundant layers of highly paid SES poohbahs and their swarms of federal employees. Just imagine the myriad thousands of underlings working on their staffs, contractors, etc.
There must be scores of billions $$$ of waste, fraud, and abuse tax monies being thrown around in the DoD. But, it is the same in all the other federal agencies.
Don't tell me we can't radically slim down these out-of-control federal bureaucracies getting better results and bang for the buck while balancing our budgets!

I won’t!
What we can do to be a catalyst is get involved locally. It appalls me that our county commissioners have no idea how much money the county has and that numerous requests by local, small churches and other organizations for ARPA funds are basically being stonewalled.
Perhaps this has something to do with it:
“Under the American Rescue Plan Act, which allocated the funds, state and local governments must obligate the funds before the end of 2024. The new rule allows governments to count funds as obligated if they are merely reported to the Treasury by April 2024.
In other words, if states and local governments and the other entities haven’t needed to spend all the money they received for pandemic relief, they can just say it’s been obligated and keep it.”
