How to Tear Apart the Government
So, Bush is officially coming up with a government agency with the ability to kill federal agencies that "aren't producing results." In other words, if the EPA, FDA, or SEC get in the way too much, they're gone. And what is he calling it?
The Sunset Commission.
Goddamnit. I'm really beginning to agree with Thompson; Nixon was evil, but at least he was smart evil. Here, we have a man naming termination programs as if they're something out of Logan's Run. He might as well have called it "The Death Commission." I hate getting fucked by the government, but even worse is the sensation that it's being done by amateurs.
