How is domestic policy viewed through government agencies?
Answer Hi, Daniel, thanks for the question. In our government, domestic policy is the counterpart of foreign policy. Within the agencies themselves, it consists of all government policy decisions, programs and actions that primarily deal with internal matters as opposed to relations with foreign countries or external matters. Major areas of domestic policy include tax policies that are developed by our Internal Revenue Service; social security and welfare programs that are developed by the Social Security Administration and Welfare Department; environmental laws developed by the Environmental Protection Agency; and numerous regulations on businesses and their practices that are developed by many of our government agencies. Hope that helps you out.
