Having the government in the art business is an affront to art.

[ghengis86]

the federal government?

[Thesemindz]

The Government Accountability Office.

Right.

Well, it's not the federal govt, but I once bought an office chair and on a tag underneath it, it said "This furniture complies with the California Bureau of Home Furnishings and Thermal Insulation."

yup yup

[Kotin]

ATF and DEA.

[sratiug]

The Pork Board is a creation of federal law. But I'd say the fedral Department of Education is the worst since they have no teachers to teach the children that are not in the classrooms they don't have in their schools that don't exist.

[AFTFNJ]

The Government Accountability Office.

Right.


-Rob


I will have to agree...

[BuddyRey]

For me, it's prolly a tie between the DEA and the BATF. As my favorite T-shirt slogan proclaims, "Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms should be a convenience store, NOT a government agency!"

[LATruth]

The Government Accountability Office.

Right.


-Rob

And the DHS. (we chase bogeymen)

[paulitics]

DHS without a doubt.

[JohnnyRebel]

they all suck but I would say the worst is the post office... nauseating...

[malkusm]

All of them. :D:p;):D <IMHO>

[BenIsForRon]

DHS, DEA. Dept. of Agriculture actually does as much harm as the other two, just in less obvious ways.

[Chamdar]

The DEA, duh.

[Brooklyn Red Leg]

Five way-tie: DEA, BATFE, Dept. of Ed., Dept. of Ag. & Dept. of Energy.

[jdmyprez_deo_vindice]

good lord... This is like being told you have one million diseases but you can only treat one at a time and now you have to pick which one bothers you most. It is impossible to pick the most useless because they are all diseases that need to be eliminated if our nation is to survive.

I love it; got a link to the shirt or are you asking for a design?

[Terces]

Definitely the DEA... let's eradicate PLANTS!

[Objectivist]

My top picks are Treasury and the 50 quarters we now have. Then the Postal Service holding a monopoly on letter size mail.

[Objectivist]

Better and simpler question would be which ones do you think we should have. That would make this thread extremely short.

Public schools.

Unless the IRS counts. In that case, IRS all the way.

[Kludge]

The Government Accountability Office.

Right.


-Rob

Eh, outspoken critic of deficits, David Walker, headed the GAO, and has lately been in the media criticizing the government.

LOL Name fail

[dave68]

All of them.

[LibForestPaul]

Dept of Ed ... state issue, not federal

DEA, BATF , smaller then dept of ed?

Which is the largest dept/agency, if you could pick one, that you would eliminate.

[ChaosControl]

I vote All of them.

[Old Ducker]

REI (Rural Electrification Administration).

Wasn't this task completed sixty years ago?

[Objectivist]

Wrap your mind around this ......

Might as well go for the Jugular Vein.

[idiom]

FEC or the BATF.

I can't decide which one does the most to undermine itself.
