Bah...

Disband most acronym agencies period... We ‘need’ an FBI/CIA/Defense and SocSec working to phase itself out over time without screwing people.

That’s my idea of compromise.

No BATFE/Energy/EPA/misEducation/Interior/Labor.

For a start. Then disband about another 75 percent of what remains.

Then get serious about returning to Constitutional principles. And yes, I am serious ;)

We need Defense. I would prefer a Department of War, as we used to have, but we at least have to have a Department of Defense.

For the rest, I'd say apply a Constitutional test. Is it clearly spoken about in Art 1, Sec. 8? No? See ya!

We'd take a hit for a month or two on unemployment, but would the economy ever take off...
