Last night Obama gave his State of the Union Address (see: State of the Union Address). Although I have only heard a few excerpts, I did notice the following quote this morning, "We live and do business in the Information Age, but the last major reorganization of the government happened in the age of black-and-white TV. There are 12 different agencies that deal with exports. There are at least five different agencies that deal with housing policy."
Unfortunately, he then didn't then call for the consolidation of these federal agencies into just three or four. How about it House member, Paul Ryan ... can you propose this in your new government cost-cutting measures? I don't think, given what he just said, President Obama can seriously object.
