off the top of the head, here are some agencies or bureaus which could i think be mostly shut down (and we could transfer any personnel to other places where they could possibly do more constructive, constitutional work for us?)
energy (appears to be doing a lot more harm than good anyway)
education (not a federal concern)
ATF (unconstitutional, harmful)
DHS (we already have an FBI and the airport bs is absurd)
agriculture (scale back the price=support programs to the bare minimum required, they were a depression era “emergency type” affair and they are costing us all greatly every week at the supermarket anyway)
treasury (replace very costly inefficient damaging and costly irs code with a straight-forward simple tax that is efficient, less damaging, and far far less costly to administer)
there are some basically good or reasonable at least fed programs that the various states could, and mostly already do.. such as much of osha and doj civil rights division, etc. these could be pared back or shut down to eliminate all the duplication and extra expense and confusion caused by having the federales duplicating state and local programs
(the states would continue to do the work so that no citizens should be adversely impacted)
and of course Obamacare
... anyone having any better ideas? has MR. Trump said what he would seek to acocmplish?
FYI, I think crop supports / subsidies have become a relatively smaller part for DoAg’s budget, and the big money is in SNAP, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, aka “Food Stamps” (though I think it’s all EBT cards now).
Most of EPA can go out the window...
