I don't think you've quite learned the fundamental lesson of these revelations. Stop building bureaucratic fiefdoms. Anything that CAN be done outside of government should never be done inside government, and this applies more strongly to large countries than small ones. Every task, agency, employee, title, and dollar that's added to the federal government makes it more unwieldy and harder to manage or police, means each task gets done less efficiently, and makes the leviathan more dangerous. Much is made of the tax, inflation, and debt burden of all of this spending, and the point is well taken. But the spending his actually harmful APART from the cost. Much of the damage in loss of freedom, corruption, dependency, and centralization of power would still amount to over half the harm even if the whole government were funded by well meaning space aliens. The SPENDING ITSELF, the POWER, is bad, and merely worse because it's our money! The sole, indispensable function of government is to protect us from force or fraud; to FORCE folk to mind their own business, because left to themselves THEY WILL NOT! Any function beyond this minimum becomes a vehicle for folk to NOT mind their business, and defeats the whole purpose of government.

@lizbethartemis4886 There should not be subsidies for electric cars, but Tesla doesn't get more per car than GM or Ford. SpaceX gets federal contracts because they underbid the competition, the same way they get 80% of the commercial market; because reusing boosters lets them charge half per pound and still make money. SpaceX is saving us money, not costing us.
