CLOSE NAVICP (Navy Inventory Control Point)
Get rid of the middle man. Bloated waste of tax dollars. Serves no purpose. Invents work to justify agency jobs.

Add your comment for Idea: DEPORT ILLEGALS WAY SOUTHAs I understand it, when illegals are deported back into Mexico, just across the border. May cost a bit more, but dropped them off WAY down in the southern most part of Mexico, illegals might think twice about crossing over. As it is now, illegals move back and forth frequently.

Technical review of contractor's procedures are performed by different activities of the same branch of the military, for the same product and the same procedure. It takes months, even years, for the government's technical staff to review these. Then if another contract is cut for the exact same item, to the exact same procedure and going to the same destination and hardware system, the review must be reveiwed all over ...more »
Add your comment for Idea: Redundant Weld Approval - for exampleTechnical review of contractor's procedures are performed by different activities of the same branch of the military, for the same product and the same procedure. It takes months, even years, for the government's technical staff to review these. Then if another contract is cut for the exact same item, to the exact same procedure and going to the same destination and hardware system, the review must be reveiwed all over again. And each customer reveiw is redundant of the last. This wastes tax dollars and technical staff time. The user does not get the hardware ontime. Then the contracting officer must spend taxpayer dollars to modify the contract.
I don't doubt this sort of thing happens with other processes, as well.
There should be one source of technical staff to approve weld procedures, etc.

Wild idea, but here it goes. Establish a new site for our govenement somewhere in the middle of the country, like LIberty, Kansas. Leave DC for the tourists and turn it into a National Park. Build new efficient office space, which will create jobs. Shake out the dead weight when the move is made. When I buy a new house I throw away the clutter from the old place. How many secretaries does one congressman need? Really? ...more »

Here's a link to the google map of Liberty, Kansas.

Control of imports is a gargantuan task. Bring troops home and station them at import depots to assist filtering out counterfiet goods. Also, they can be useful in stemming the tide of drugs, and thwarting the influx of illegal immigration. This protects the American citizenry from all nature of dangers, while it promotes a level playing field for domestic industries.

3 comments for Idea: Counterfeit Chinese GoodControl of imports is a gargantuan task. Bring troops home and station them at import depots to assist filtering out counterfiet goods. Also, they can be useful in stemming the tide of drugs, and thwarting the influx of illegal immigration. This protects the American citizenry from all nature of dangers, while it promotes a level playing field for domestic industries.
On the one hand, our government stomps hard on environmental and health hazard issues in regards to US industries, while turning a blind eye to the tainted and counterfeit goods imported from China. To compoound this enigma, purchasing domestically produced goods is no longer an option for some product lines, and becoming less so everyday for most products.
And competitiveness? The increasinly serious concern we should have is that the US is losing the skilled labor force that is essential to building strong defenses. You cannot train a bearing machinist overnight. We currently import such items from China. What happens when that pool of knowledge and experience dries up - and it will dry up eventually or stop suddenly. Will China sacrifice itself for our interests in a crises? In the US, the generations who have the technological skills to build essential machinery are retired, or retiring, with no one to teach. For young people looking for stable long term employable career choices, there is no 'practice field' to learn such skills. And college is a good thing, but in these jobs - the best classroom is on the factory floor.
