Chapter 13

1.      Research federal agencies and explain which one you feel is the most important one and why?

I think that the most important federal agency is the U.S. Census Bureau because it provides data about the nation's people and economy. It has showed the changes in the population from when it was started in 1790 to today. It is taken every ten years. In the past years not just to get a count of people living in the houses there has been different questions asked. It keeps up with the changes and how we are growing.

2.      Which federal agency could be terminated with the least impact (if any) and why?

After looking at over a 1000 different agencies, I think that there may be some you could terminate and we would be just fine without them, but it is hard to pick one of them out. I pick out one, then after reading it I think different. So I really can’t answer this question.

3.      Are any new agencies needed?  In other words, if you were president would you create new agencies?  If so, in what area(s)?

I don’t think that there is any need for anymore of them. After reading all I have it seems like there is one for just about everything.
