Whatever.
Maybe they are right that we don't need feds telling private industry how to compete. That makes sense to me on a basic level, but why can't they just say that?
Can't they just say "This agency and it's mission is not valid, no longer needed, whatever argument they have" ?
No, they have to say it like this:
"In his latest budget request, President Bush proposed to 'modernize' TA by dramatically cutting its budget from $6 million to $1.6 million and then essentially eliminating it."
Please Note:
"modernize" =/= cutting its budget from $6 million to $1.6 million .or. eliminating it
That's Orwellian doublespeak if I've ever seen it. Check wiki here.
