President Obama,
as you mentioned in your recent State of the Union Address, you plan to cut budgets everywhere. Don’t sweat it. As I’m sure you know, the American People are accustomed to our politicians reducing the budget of the government services We desire the most – whenever our politicians are faced with the necessity to reduce budgets. Why would politicians cut fat where it really exists, no doubt? Also, why would we expect you to do any different or why would you think we would expect you to be different in this regard?
But please keep in mind, We are also aware that nearly any Federal agency can probably perform the agency’s workload with half its numbers of employees and/or half its budget. In fact, we are also aware that several agencies would not even be missed if they were to disappear from the budget entirely. Furthermore, the American People are aware that many agencies appear to offer no value to the taxpayer nor do several Federal agencies seem to care about adding value to the taxpayer.
Should you be interested in my advice as to where to start cutting the Federal budget, please contact me, of you would be so kind.
