There are more of them than farmers ~ they are also the 'food and nutrition service' ~ which has a valid mission. Then there are the food stamp folks.

The big expense with food stamps is in the program funds ~ not the employees. You could run most of that activity from a relatively modest facility with good internet access and a few dozen accountants.

Try USDA first then. I don't care.

Oh, one other thing ~ tell us your objective. Is it to destabilize federal spending programs, get rid of federal employees, save a lot of money, balance the budget........?

Seriously, what is it you hope to accomplish.

I don't understand your question, my comment was in the form of a question. I truly don't know what, exactly, the USDA does. I do know it has something to do with the food supply, I also know it is government run.

Intent, overall, it is to join the conversation in trying to identify the waste in government. For instance, there is or was the wool subsidiary, which was put in place when our military wore wool uniforms. I really don't think we need to keep that and I'm sure there are many other programs that are unnecessary now, maybe they were at one time but the government seems incapable of discontinuing any program, no matter how out of date, destructive, or costly it may be.

Did I offend you somehow? Or were you reply to someone else?
