A dysfunctional government cannot properly exercise its duties to serve the American public. Through extensive research and analysis, FGI exposes dysfunction with the goal of eradicating bloated bureaucracy, inappropriate or illegal influence peddling, and whatever else that make the government inefficient and dysfunctional, meaning it is not serving the American citizens.
With energy costs on the rise across the country, Functional Government Initiative (FGI) members are now expressing concerns that some of President Joe Biden’s energy policies may be doing more harm than good, in terms of gaining control of the situation.
Following the decision to ban all U.S. imports of Russian oil, the FGI continues to be concerned about the current energy policies the White House has in place. The organization is confident their investigation will yield vital results and help them better understand the energy priorities of the federal government. FGI said in late February that they are seeking full transparency from government agencies in the following areas: actions to slow gas price hikes using emergency powers; calls for investigating the meat and energy industries; efforts to hinder domestic fossil fuel production, halt pipeline approvals, and shut down American mines; and considerations behind the decision to re-nominate a Federal Reserve chairman who has presided over 40-year highs in inflation.
"The areas of inquiry will include the following," the FGI said in the release. "Actions to slow gas price hikes using emergency powers; Calls for investigating the meat and energy industries; Efforts to hinder domestic fossil fuel production, halt pipeline approvals, and shut down American mines; and Considerations behind the decision to re-nominate a Federal Reserve Chairman who has presided over 40-year highs in inflation."
In light of the Biden administration's announcement of an immediate ban on all U.S. imports of Russian oil, the Functional Government Initiative (FGI) is worried about the impact of President Biden's energy policies on rising energy costs in the U.S. “Last week we expressed our concerns regarding the reluctance to sanction the Russian energy market and announced that we would be seeking information surrounding that decision," FGI spokesman Peter McGinnis said in a statement March 9. "However, the current situation creates the fear that we may be moving from funding Russia’s war machine to paying the dictator in Venezuela and the state sponsors of terrorism in Iran. The concerns of the Functional Government Initiative remain. We will continue working to expose the dysfunction of government and investigate the impact of today’s energy policy on our foreign policy and near-record levels of inflation.”
Yesterday, the Biden Administration announced it would be reversing course and would move to stop imports of Russian oil into the United States market. The Functional Government Initiative announced last week it had begun an investigation into the initial decision to exclude the Russian energy sector from U.S. sanctions. In spite of yesterday’s reversal, FGI’s probe is expected to yield vital information, allowing the American people to better understand the federal government’s energy priorities. While FGI commends this decision, the American people have legitimate concerns about the impact of energy policy on rising prices, not only on energy but also across the economy.
Experts have explored for several months the potential contributors to the high U.S. inflation numbers, but there has yet to be a sound consensus on the primary reason, the Functional Government Initiative (FGI) said in a recent news release. Leading contenders include federal spending on pandemic relief bills, high oil prices, and now high tensions in Europe, the news release said. FGI has begun their search by digging into government policies.
Functional Government Initiative (FGI) members are pushing to get to the bottom of the country’s rapidly rising inflation rates. “For years, Washington’s dysfunction has enraged the American public,” FGI spokesman Peter McGinnis said in a press release. “The Functional Government Initiative exists to explore what is driving that dysfunction and shine a light on the key decisions causing it... The public almost certainly understands that the pandemic has played a part in driving inflation, but if it turns out government policies are supercharging that spike in their cost of living, then they deserve to know.”
Amid historic inflation levels in the U.S., Americans are growing curious as to the root cause. In response, the Functional Government Initiative (FGI), a nonpartisan organization that demands government transparency, announced information requests they're sending to government agencies. Through this process, FGI hopes to uncover the policies that are contributing to the harmful effects inflation has imposed on so many American lives.
As inflation continues to rise to levels not seen in Nevada in decades, experts are examining the causes and looking for reasons behind it. The Functional Government Initiative (FGI), a nonpartisan organization that seeks transparency in government, has asked several government agencies for information so that the root causes of the high inflation rates can be shared with the public, the organization said in a recent news release on its website. Among the oft-cited causes are the COVID-19 pandemic and the approximately $5 trillion in federal government relief spending as a result. Supply chain issues are another factor, but no consensus has been reached as to why inflation has risen so much.
As inflation hits historic levels in the U.S. and Americans begin to search for answers, the Functional Government Initiative (FGI), a nonpartisan organization that demands government transparency, announced information requests they're sending to government agencies.
The Functional Government Initiative announced today it is seeking information from the federal government on the decision to exclude the Russian energy sector from US sanctions in response to Russia’s invasion into Ukraine. Oil and gas prices have been on the rise since early 2021, tracking several policy decisions to reduce American oil and gas production move the nation towards alternative sources of energy. Indeed, last year financial titan Larry Fink acknowledged the correlation between the pursuit of “green” policies and the nation’s growing inflation problem.
While the U.S. Senate prepares to consider controversial legislation that would reform how the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) handles health care, government watchdogs have released documents that show an "increasingly cozy relationship" between the independent regulator of USPS and lobbyists working to shape the legislation favorably for their clients.
According to a statement from the Functional Government Initiative (FGI), the documents show the connection between the the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC), a regulator responsible for transparency and oversight of USPS operations, and lobbyists for a coalition of package companies that include Amazon and eBay (known as the “Package Coalition”) that have relied on USPS to reduce one of their largest operating costs.
