Oh my gawd! Shrink the government? However would they maintain control over your life?Apparently I’m missing part of the conversation and some stats but back to Ben.
How about a flat tax of say 3%. No rebates, no refunds, no credits, etc. That would shrink the IRS by...? Could save a lot salaries that way. Abolish Dept of Energy and education for starters. Congress already has a roadmap to dissolve the TSA, let’s enact that. Shrink others drastically and roll similar agencies into others to reduce overhead. Aside from FBI should any other departments have LEOs?
If you want it enforced properly, you could shrink the IRS by half, I suppose. Right now, the IRS is so understaffed it's insane. If the IRS actually had the manpower to enforce all the laws it's supposed to, it would be 10 times bigger than it is. So, yeah, a 3% flat tax could be administered with fewer folks and a smaller IRS.How about a flat tax of say 3%. No rebates, no refunds, no credits, etc. That would shrink the IRS by...?
Well, yeah, you'd have to do all that and more. A 3% flat tax would reduce revenues by about 90% so most of the government would have to be shut down immediately and permanently. It's probably been a decade since I ran the numbers but my recollection is that a flat tax would have to come in somewhere north of 30% to be revenue-neutral.Could save a lot salaries that way.

Probably. It's arguable, of course, but there are so many laws of limited applicability that it's ridiculous to expect FBI SAs to understand them all. The current solution is to have SAs in the various agencies who work with just that domain of the law and understand it. If, on general principle, we wanted to eliminate all federal LEOs other than the FBI, it would be necessary to train up a bunch of SAs in various specialties then attach them to the agencies that administer those laws. I'm not sure what that would accomplish but, yeah, we could basically just take all the LEOs in other agencies, transfer them to the FBI, and then call it a day.Aside from FBI should any other departments have LEOs?
And when would you sugesugi work this "off the books" job? I am required to work during the Shutdown and it's a full time job with many hours of OT. I also have children that I care for after work and I'm a single parent. When o get home from working without pay I spend the hours helping my children and making the dinner and doing things a parent must do. I don't have the luxury of working over 40 hrs a week, takota care of my kids and working another job.pd,
Really...?
You're not making a good case for being 'poor you'...
Instead of being on this site, why not try to find a job off the books?
Earning some income that way won't interfere with your concern regarding your seniority.....
But hey, I get it.
Rather get freebies - dignity...pish-post...
Over a month working without pay....

Absolutely nothing against fundraiser.Stop your panhandling. This is against Federal policy under codes of conduct.

Personally, though, I find that solution to have real cultural problems. If you don't work for an agency, your most basic job motivations aren't necessarily to enforce the laws for which that agency is responsible. If, for example, the FBI put SAs in the IRS to enforce tax law, how devoted would those FBI SAs be to the goal of enforcing the laws that are the domain of the IRS? I think the motivation would be lacking and that causes problems.
I'm serious about this. The whole IRS scandal about holding up approval for conservative political groups would have been over/finished/fixed in the blink of an eye if it weren't for the fact that the IRS had previously had their lawyers taken away from them. The IRS used to have their own in-house counsel but not any more. Nowadays, they have to use lawyers from the DOJ. Those DOJ lawyers were the cause of most of the problems/delays because they had no appreciation for the way the IRS works. The DOJ lawyers (and this is just my opinion) seemed to also be motivated by orders from political animals higher in their chain of command, a type of corruption that is almost (not completely, but almost) unknown at the IRS.
There's a big advantage to having the people who enforce any particular set of laws be a part of the organization that specializes in that domain. They tend to feel a proprietary interest in doing a good job. But ask a bunch of FBI SAs to enforce, say, wetlands preservation or historic landmark preservation or tax laws or smokestack emissions or product safety laws or etc., etc., and etc.? I sincerely doubt they could muster up the motivation.

There are people donating all kinds things f things to gvt workers right now which is not only supported by mngmt, it's being used by mngmt.
BigGreen,
Actually, I believe that ALL of the more than 80 federal LE agencies should be ABOLISHED, except for 3-4 BIG agencies. = DUMP all the drones, keep the good agents & SAVE BILLIONS each year in USELESS DUPLICATION OF EFFORT, WASTE, FRAUD & ABUSE of the taxpayers.
IF I was doing it, I would KEEP the POSTAL INSPECTORS & USMS, as they are the TWO oldest federal LE agencies, the USCG & TREASURY Special Agents.
It makes NO difference all about which BADGE & CREDENTIAL that a LE officer carries. = ALL that counts is TRAINING, HONESTY, JURISDICTION & COMPETENCE.
just my OPINION, satx
Big talk on an internet furom. I haven't begged anyone for any donation. I'm happy to talk to you, man to man, if you're ever local.Either you are truly that ignorant or you are blatantly disregarding code and conduct policies, which I’m inclined to believe it is the latter. There is no shame in your game. In either case, my household isn’t receiving two paychecks and yes we still go to work......not to some cozy little office either. Suck it up, or go find another job.
So which of those 4 agencies that you’ve listed are going to handle the border and immigration crisis.......since after all the thread is about the border problem?
