[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 1162479, member: 17767"] Yes sir. They never go away. You have no idea how extensive this issue is. Example: The Bureau of Reclamation. A story to give you an idea about their involvement in irrigation: [url=http://www.uwyo.edu/robertshistory/new_history_of_wyoming_chapter_13_water.htm]http://www.uwyo.edu/robertshistory/new_ ... _water.htm[/url] They have a mission and there is still a role but the projects are finished. Their mission could easily be rolled over to the Corps of Engineers. There are thousands of USBR employees waiting for retirement with nothing to do but watch the four walls they sit within. Anytime a bill has been introduced to downsize, the US Senators and Representatives where these offices are located, i.e. Billings, MT, have a duck fit. And trust me, Republicans defend those jobs with the same vigor that Democrats do. No one wants the jobs in their communities lost. Here is what happens. Their mission becomes a find work exercise. The managers attand meetings to discuss "what can we do to justify our existence." Happens in all those old agencies. I will offer that with the water issues this country is facing, the USBR may become a key agency. The problem is that during long stretches in an agencies history, they carry an excess work force that has no where to be deployed. I could list a 100 federal agencies that are obsolete.
