Cut USDA budget, in whole or in part.

Is agriculture even the proper constitutional business of the federal government?

Regarding the US Dept of Agriculture (USDA) – Agriculture is not listed under Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution, so why is the US government concerning itself with agriculture? Did America not have any agriculture, and was it not doing well, before we had a USDA? Does American agriculture need the US government to continue to exist and operate?

Let’s look at the component parts of USDA and what we’re paying for.

  1. “Education and Outreach” is a function of the USDA – why? Can farmers and future farmers or foresters not learn about their own livelihoods without the aid of the federal government? The “Outreach” part of it involves “career outreach” for scientists and their teachers, and “Congressional outreach” for international research. Why? Can scientists and teachers of scientists not do what they are doing on their own? Do they need to be led around by the nose and spoon fed? Who appointed the federal government the supreme expert in these areas?
  2. The Agricultural Labor Affairs Coordinator (ALAC) “coordinates” agricultural labor issues such as immigration. Why? Should that not be the preserve of immigration and border patrol agencies? Why is the federal government interested in regulating or controlling or coordinating labor of any variety? Could the real purpose be to avoid prosecuting illegal aliens?
  3. The Climate Change Program Office (CCPO) “coordinates” forecasts, rules and regulations related to Al Gore’s giant global warming hoax, believed and promoted by every Leftie politician, teacher and journalist, and by every Marxist revolutionary with an ulterior motive. The mind fairly boggles as we wonder how America ever might so much as survive without this ludicrous bureaucratic functionality. Don’t laugh; you’re paying for it.
  4. The Office of Environmental Markets (OEM) exists to develop markets for ecosystem services. See? It’s all about environmental market infrastructure, market innovation and market-based conservation. It facilitates landowner participation in conservation and land management. Why? Don’t farmers and foresters already know how to best conserve their land and what’s on it? If they don’t practice such things as soil and water and resource conservation, would they not soon put themselves out of business?
  5. The USDA has a Director of Sustainable Development, to “implement” the policies of the United Nations related to the project that these anti-American foreigners titled Sustainable Development. It is aimed at fulfilling the ridiculous, fraudulent belief that reducing development in America will somehow increase development elsewhere and uplift other nations. It’s a clear cut anti-American fraud. Why are American tax dollars being expended to accomplish a foreign goal? The UN is a foreign entity, not subject to our Constitution, not accountable to us, and not representative of us. Does it seek to super-impose itself over our Constitution and over us, without our say-so, and without any American citizen representation? By what authority?
  6. The Joint agricultural Weather Facility (JAWF) monitors and forecasts the weather and the climate (yeah, right) to facilitate commodity forecasting. Meteorologists cannot predict the weather five days out with complete accuracy, but these USDA jackasses would have us believe they can predict the climate, years or decades or centuries out.

Can you see any reason not to cut the entire USDA completely out of this and all future federal budgets?

I cannot.

The Purpose for this grouping of links is to show, first, the unconstitutional bureaucracies that need to be cut, and second, to highlight ideas toward restoring America toward her original Constitutional design.

The Cut The Spending Pages
Most of this site describes what is wrong; this one describes what to do about it.  If we don't get rid of the extra-Constitutional entities we are over-paying for they will eventually economically strangle us to death as a nation. 

Shut down unneeded bureaucracy, for budget’s sake. In the name of fiscal sanity, we need to shut down unneeded bureaucracy.

Cut USDA budget, in whole or in part. Is agriculture the constitutional business of the federal government?

Department of Commerce: Cut DOC budget, with a meat axe. Argument to cut DOC; in times like these, no bureaucracy is sacred.

Dept of Defense: Budget cuts here need to be of the scalpel variety. Defense cuts need to be done very carefully lest we harm national security.

Cut the ED budget, in whole. Is education the constitutional business of the federal government?

Argument against Public Education, which is, in fact, Government Indoctrination. Public Education equals State Indoctrination, pure and simple. Education is beyond the scope of government and not what our government is constituted to do. 

Cut DOE budget, with a meat axe. Other than nuclear, how is any energy source the business of federal government?

Cut HHS budget, completely. How, exactly, is any Health and/or Human Services the Constitutional business of federal government?

Cut Social Security: Elimination of America’s Largest Budget Expenditure. How to Cut Social Security and begin the return to fiscal sanity.

Cut DHS budget, completely. Homeland Security is the proper domain of Defense, CIA and FBI. We should cut DHS completely.

Cut HUD budget, completely. How, exactly, is Housing or Urban Development the Constitutional business of federal government?

At this moment in time, most Constitutionalists would love to kill the IRS. How do you Kill the IRS? Fast-track and pass the Fair Tax. Very simple; nothing to it. 

Cut DOJ budget, with a paring knife, but, radically. We need to cut DOJ unnecessary and unrelated functions to streamline the function of justice.

Cut DOL, completely. The Dept of Labor has no Constitutional reason to exist. We should cut DOL, which, like organized labor itself, was born of Marx's Communist Manifesto.

Cut EPA, completely. EPA has no Constitutional reason to exist. How, exactly, are the environment or natural resources the Constitutional business of the Federal Government?

Cut DOS (State Departement) budget excess fat. Cut DOS unnecessary functions and get back to State business.

Cut DOI (Department Of Interior) with a meat axe. We can eliminate ninety percent of Interior bureaucracy when we cut DOI. 

Restoring our Treasury Department to its original purpose for being. On restoring our Treasury from Fascist Crony Capitalism, i.e., the Fed.

If we really need to cut spending, we should cut DOT with a meat axe. We should cut DOT and all these other bureaucracies that are regulating us to death.

Cut bureaucracy, but leave VA alone. In fact, we should build up the VA. In the aftermath of Marxocrat and Republicrat cuts to defense, both defense and the VA need new attention.

"We belong to the Church militant; and She is militant because on earth the powers of darkness are ever restless to encompass Her destruction. Not only in the far-off centuries of the early Church, but down through the ages and in this our day, the enemies of God and Christian civilization make bold to attack the Creator’s supreme dominion and sacrosanct human rights.”--Pope Pius XII

"It is not lawful to take the things of others to give to the poor.  It is a sin worthy of punishment, not an act deserving a reward, to give away what belongs to others."--St. Francis of Assisi

Traditional Latin Tridentine Mass, offered at Assumption Grotto Church in Detroit, Michigan. Our deepest prayer, our highest form of worship, and the way God should be treated.

Truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.—Winston Churchill

Note the Military Assault Rifle common to the American Founding Era.

The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities.—Ayn Rand

Atheist Genesis:

In the beginning there was nothing, and nothing happened to nothing.
And then nothing accidentally exploded and created everything.
And then some bits of everything accidentally encountered other bits of everything and formed some new kinds of everything.
And then some bits of everything accidentally arranged themselves into self-replicating bits of everything.
And then some self-replicating bits of everything accidentally arranged themselves into dinosaurs.
