My list is similar, but...

Dept. of Energy-we still need it’s nuclear research. Everything else does more harm than good.

NPR- 0.00 dollars.

EPA Dept - We still need them, but on their original mission and funded at (inflation adjusted) 1980 levels. From that point, reduce their funding dollar for dollar for any new regulatory cost to business and consumers.

Are you drunk? The DoE was formed during the Carter administration, and we have closed more nuclear power plants than have been started since the DoE came to power. The US once was a leader in nuclear technology, now we trail everyone including the Russians who gave us Chernobyl. The DoE is the enemy of the energy industry - especially nuclear.

EPA Dept - We still need them

We need their leadership swinging from lampposts. Most states have their own EPA, and most states already have environmental agreements with their neighbors. We need the Federal EPA as bad as one needs terminal cancer.

Not just cut, but eliminate from the budget, incarcerate the leadership, sell the furniture and lease out the buildings

We don’t need a flipping Federal Department to conduct nuclear research. If we need that so bad, put it under HUD. Oh, we need to get rid of HUD too. Stick it someplace but it’s not a cabinet level deal.

Take the fangs out of the EPA. Let them reccommend to Congress, nothing more. Maybe able to file some suits but in no wise to issue imperial regulations on non-pollutants.
