They would ruin all of the areas I outlined.

How in the World did ANY OF US, or OUR PARENTS, and GRANDPARENTS survive....before all of those Beuracracy-led things appeared?
I may be older than most. I may say things not everybody will like.
But despite all of that. I will never lower myself to the level of Liars, Haters, Cheats, and Hypocrites.

Exactly.
The duties and responsibilities of the agencies are covered by Federal Law,
in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations.
Web site is easy to find if any one doubts me, and they comply with the COTUS
if anyone cares to research and not just spout off.

WTF? That's exactly the point. The federal government is ONLY supposed to provide those things which are EXPLICITLY empowered to the federal government in the COTUS.
I mean the very least you could have done was acknowledge that the federal government IS constrained by the COTUS and then maybe argued that hurricanes and other weather phenomenon affect the national security of the US or interstate trade or something else that the US government is entitled to regulate instead of some weak ass "well this organization wasn't around then" BS

I don't think you even understand the subject.
The USCFR relies on the "nondelegation doctrine" to exist , and in fact the COTUS itself was meant to delegate powers. Says so right in the 10th Amendment, ANY powers not given to the feds via the COTUS are reserved for the states or the people themselves. The government isn't supposed to be able to just say "okay we want to regulate this , so we've included it in the USCFR, that means it's law" in fact that's even worse, because that's just Congress creating an agency and telling THEM to write laws. We have multiple executive branch agencies writing law, which is supposed to be reserved for Congress to do, and you're okay with that?
Da fuq?
Simple test, what if a Democrat President instructed the BATF to write a regulation in the USCFR outlawing AR15s. Hey that would be constitutional too right? Wait a minute, that's different.........Somehow.
PS - The federal government is routinely sued over the "nondelegation clause" And in fact in Wayman vs Southard way back in 1825 the Supreme Court ruled explicitly that Congress could delegate SOME powers, but not any explicitly legislative powers IE Congress couldn't empower another branch to make law.
In fact it wasn't until the 1930s that Congress seriously started ceding their own authority over to various federal agencies in terms of writing law. Before that the few times they tried SCOTUS knocked the law down.

And likewise I don't disagree (aka I agree) that we should be discerning and not just cut agencies willy nilly. That's why I said earlier just saying 'hey this is in the federal guidelines that makes it okay" is ridiculous, he could have at least make an argument that forecasting and tracking storms was related to national security or the general welfare of the country, or something.
You did, the other poster just flatly said "it's legal"
That's what I commented on.
But even at that, is it really a matter of national interest? Seems to me like it's more of a matter of regional interest. As you well know politicians are very good at ginning up excuses as to why they should have their pet programs or laws, and we aren't near careful enough in our scrutiny as to what they are doing.
