I am OK with this.

An African American grown soybean is just as valuable as a caucasian grown soy bean. As a matter of fact you cannot tell them apart. We need to stop supplementing and trying to level and already level playing field.

The Appalachian Regional Commission was established 52 years ago in 1965 and guess what. The Appalachian region is still poor. It's either unfixable or they suck and need to be disbanded.

Chemical Safety Board this can and is already done by other government agencies. OSHA, EPA, DOT all could do this. Further this board is allowed to work unchecked by any other agency and that is communist. Disband it. Redundant and unnecessary.

Corporation for National and Community Service We do not need to fund another community organizing/service agency. It is an unnecessary service that could be filled in for by philanthropists and other agencies, particularly state agencies where they have more control.

Corporation for Public Broadcasting No explanation needed. Close it.

We could go on and on. Cut the bloat. It's time these pork pie perches for political donation givers ends.
