How Government Spends and Wastes Your Tax Money
From the Hoover Commission findings the article outlines overlapping federal farm and food regulation, duplicated programs, and cross agency waste. It cites 47 agents in one Georgia county and 88 in Maryland with 1 500 and 3 400 farmers respectively, plus conflicting advice to a Missouri farmer. Recommendations include reorganizing the Agriculture Department along functional lines and consolidating agencies to reduce waste and cut costs. It notes large farm credit obligations and proposes a modest government corporation to replace Farmers Home Administration and expand loan guarantees through Land Banks. It closes with a public price note on pepper illustrating postwar inflationary trends.
