Abstract:
The new Congress is promising to take a fresh look at all federal spending to meet its ambitious deficit reduction target. As part of this task, lawmakers can find a wealth of opportunity in abolishing or consolidating the scores of independent federal agencies that spend billions of taxpayer dollars on inessential, replicative, regional, or trivial activities.
