1.) I
believe that many of the federal agencies that are active in today’s government
are very important and have vital roles in today’s government. I feel that the most important federal agency
is the Environmental Protection agency, the EPA. It was established by congress in 1970 to
dictate and relate certain aspects when it concerns the well being of our
environment. The EPA has a unique role
in the federal government, with responsibility for preserving the quality of
air, water, and land. It monitors the quality of the air and the pollution
levels in it, and also controls and regulates the disposal of waste and the
proper of disposing waste to make certain we live in the cleanest world as
possible. It has the power to create and
issue policies to protect the cleanliness of our environment which affects us
in our everyday and our health as well. This is a very important agency in and
it plays many crucial roles in our government today. I believe that without the EPA our world and
environment would be in much worse shape than it is today.
2.) I
believe that out of all the federal agencies I researched that the
International Broadcasting Bureau would be the easiest terminated and have the
least impact on government and the citizens of the United States if it were to
be terminated. With modern advances in
technology such as the internet, blogs, and the newer technological devices
that make the internet and news so readily available I feel that these advances
have done away with the importance this agency may have carried in earlier
years of its existence. I believe that
if this agency were to be disbanded it would have little effect in today’s
government or in the everyday lives of citizens. I also believe that the federal
funding for this agency could be used and applied to other agencies and causes
that carry more weight and importance in today’s times and government.
3.) I
do not believe that any other agencies are needed necessarily. I believe that the agencies we have in place
now are sufficient in their jobs and cover most bases that we would need a
federal agency for. I actually believe that there are a couple agencies that
could be done away with for the simple fact that their power is very limited or
that the agency itself has run its course and is no longer effective or needed
in today’s times.

As I posted in my Blog, I do agree that the EPA is a very important agency that needs to be kept and needs to be well funded without this agency, we probably would not live the quality of life that we do today. Even though pollution is bad now I'm sure it could be far worse without the implementation of this agency to protect the environment.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the EPA is very important and i think that you did a very good job on that topic. I agree that without the EPA the environment would not be fit for living in it.However, I do not agree about not needing more agencies. I feel we need an agency to legalize marijuana use.
ReplyDeleteThe EPA is extremely important. If it weren't for them we would be suffocating in our own waste so to speak. I thought it was very interesting what you stated about needing more agencies. There are tons of agencies already and they get funded, even the useless ones. I also agree that the useless ones should be done away with, it would leave extra funds to a more successful agency.
