"The failings of the executive branch in the past decades to perform its
basic tasks under the Constitution stands in stark contrast in the public mind
to the increasingly productive and consumer-friendly models in the private
sector. Contrast Amazon.com's remarkable ability to track customers'
preferences, to take one example, to the inability of the FBI to devise a
computer model that met the agency's needs despite the countless millions spent
on this necessary upgrade.
Let's put a moratorium on all new federal
legislation of sweeping import until Congress does its most important job: a
systematic review of all existing programs in all of the federal government,
determining which are significant, truly federal functions that should be
retained, and which programs should be scrapped as a waste of time and money, or
beyond the federal government's responsibilities. "
Well Said.
