Is there a way to charge government agency's in a way that accomplishes anything? If the faa is fined it will just be paid by the taxpayer, it's not like they have a revenue stream to worry about. And if you charge them enough to make it hard to do their job with their budget then that is just counter productive?
- EricE 5y agoDon't charge. Your thinking in normal terms. They don't care about charges or fines because they don't create money in the first place. If you want to hit a government agency where it hurts, cut their budget by the amount you would fine someone else. That is about the only thing that will get their attention!
- thatguy0900 5y agoI mean, the faa has no competition. If they are already incompetent and you cut their budget, won't they just be more incompetent? Is there any examples of a government agency reforming itself under budget cuts to be more effective? It doesn't sound plausible to me
- alan-hn 5y agoSounds like we should change the way we hire people in government to increase competency
- thatguy0900 5y agoI would go as far as saying there should be a elite govt branch that has the power to dissolve and reform all these anemic regulatory bodies like they do with police forces every once in a while. That should be congress but good luck getting them to do anything, they should be on the chopping block too. I think anyone who's actually competent probably just gets frustrated and leaves
- alan-hn 5y ago>just gets frustrated and leaves I feel this in my bones. I'm starting to feel this way towards living in the US in general
