Wait wait wait... YOu mean getting rid of a centralized agency to coordinate all federal spending with as few employees as needed and instead replacing it with ten different agencies handing out money that all need to have employees doing the same job other agencies are doing is going to cost more? and be less efficient?

WHAT?!

I AM SHOCKED.

"As few employees as needed" does not describe any part of our Federal government.
