No, there's places where they overlap. They want to integrate and remove 2 bureaucracies to make 1 department.
It's to cut regulations and to streamline the government.
Did you hear the dudes analogy of how USDA regulates a cheese pizza but throw pepperoni or meat it goes to FDA for regulations?
Another example.
ATF regulated alcohol tobacco firearms and explosives.
Yet...
It's the FBI that performs the background checks on firearm purchases to concealed carry permit/license. It costs the ATF to do NFA transfers. That division doesn't make a dime. And 9 times out of 10 you call the ATF oh it's the FBI holding us up on the background check. Call the FBI nope we never received anything from the ATF. Call the congressman to look into it...
1 year and 8 months later the stamps on 4 suppressors finally came in the mail after getting the run around from both.
Is there any reason why I should have to wait up to a year and 8 months to receive property I paid for? Even though the ATF cashed the checks... either disband the ATF or change the duty of background checks to the ATF since they're the regulatory agency of firearms. Not the FBI.
I've believed for years there is no absolute No reason for 5 alphabet soup bureaucracies to regulate or enforce for 1 thing... how else do you get higher taxes? Open another alphabet soup bureaucracy to further regulate what is regulated by others.
This is a good thing. Either disband 1 useless agency, or combine 2 into one.
Say department of Education and Department of labor are combined in the sense of, apprenticeship... it's both employment and education.
Make it the department of Labor and Education. Trim the fat from both agencies.
Roll back draconian regulations that
both cover in some form.
It's a win.
Say you're a mechanic and want to open your own shop. Any reason why the health department has a say in your operations? Health department, Environmental conservation, OSHA, the state which you operate in, federal regulations on top...
Too much. Half of the hoops you need to jump through are asinine. Permits. Do you think it's appropriate to have multiple permits from multiple agencies to operate that shop?
That's cost prohibitive. To hell with it. Half those permit fees can go the wayside to never return. That's overhead that gets passed down onto you the consumer who brings your car to me the grease monkey.
