What the corrupt US departments couldn’t - and refused to - do.

I heard an interesting podcast interview with someone from one of those departments.

It sounds like they just genuinely don’t have enough funding, as in enough staff, to do their job properly.

Nothing corrupt within the departments - they’re doing the best they can with what they’ve been given . Congress needs to raise taxes and fund the departments better and then there will be proper regulation in the USA.

If course, congress can’t do hardly anything at all so that’s never going to happen. At least not at a federal level.

At a state level though? Maybe that could work.
