The idea that Congress can set up agencies that are outside the control of the Executive needs to be revisited. It leads to rogue, unaccountable bureaucracy.

- binarycrusader 1y agoThey are, at minimum, accountable to congress, therefore that is a lie. There is a reason the US has three branches of government instead of one despite misguided individuals that believe otherwise. Whether they are “co-equal” depends on who you ask but it is a lie to claim they are not accountable when their accountability is to congress directly via funding.
