Research federal agencies and explain which one you feel is the most important one and why?
I feel one that is really important would be The Food and Drug Administration. The FDA protects public health by making sure human and veterinary drugs, biological products, medical equipment, food supply, and cosmetics. They also make medicines more effective and affordable. I think the list of what they do already shows the importance of what the FDA does. What we put into our bodies is so important, and knowing what we are getting is vital.
Which federal agency could be terminated with the least impact (if any) and why?
I don't think any one agency should be terminated. Each agency was set up for a specific purpose. Just because one person may not find what someone is doing as important as another doesn't mean it isn't.
Are any new agencies needed? In other words, if you were president would you create new agencies? If so, in what area(s)?
I think there should be an agency that regulated assistance programs better. I know some states have passed the drug testing, I think this should be mandatory for anyone to receive government assistance. I know people receive these benefits and don't use them in the way they should, and I find it absolutely ridiculous.
I commented on Haley Miles, Bailey Thompson, and Kelsey Morris.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you!!! The FDA is very important. I don't think we would all be alive if we didn't have the FDA. We don't know what we consume, but thats what the FDA is for. I don't think there should be any agencies terminated either. All the agencies we have now were put here for a reason.
ReplyDeleteThe FDA is very important and a lot of students have chosen this one to be the very best. We do not really know what is in our food and if our medications are doing what they are supposed to be doing. I have signed up for emails from the FDA and I usually get three or four daily letting me know what has been found in our food, like salmonella. It also lets people know about their pet food, which is great. You also had a good point that we need an agency that looks over agencies that assist people in programs for food, housing, electric, and water. I truly believe there are people in our country that need this help and I also believe there are people that abuse it. It is very sad for people that really need the help not be able to receive it and then the people that are abusing it get by with it.
ReplyDeleteThere should definitely be something to help better regulate assistance programs but I personally do not think another department would solve the problem. If anything I think making the department less federal and more controlled by the states would help the problem the most. I think a lot of the problem is that our federal government has become too large and it has a hard to regulating itself. There are not enough checks and balances in these departments to make sure they are doing what they should be doing. Smaller departments would help to make sure that it is can be monitored better. Bigger is not always better, at least that is my philosophy.
