Well, I agree with closing Commerce, Education, Energy and numerous other departments, but I do not trust this President.

Consequently, I need to wait for analysis of this typical Friday afternoon news / document dump.

Having said that, I am extremely wary of anything this man does.

I think everyone's skepticism is wellfounded. There is nothing in this clown's DNA that would even allow him to think about reducing anything gubbermint does. If he is allowed to merge these other agencies with Commerce it may look good on paper but the end result will be a large increase in bureaucrats. Count on it. This is a cynical head fake, nothing more. But the stupidoes in the Boehner -McConnell branch of the gop will probably suck it down after a few hems and haws.

He wants what Nixon had and if he gets it it`s game over as hussein will take it to the 10th power and create a Chavez-like State:

President Nixon’s creation of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which was cobbled together from parts of other federal agencies by executive order, marked the beginning of a regulatory revolution. No other federal agency has ever been created in this fashion. Nixon had first wanted an act of Congress to create a cabinet-level Department of Environment and Natural Resources, but abandoned the plan because of congressional opposition. Others in the Nixon White House thought the new EPA should be more like the National Institute of Health, conducting research and recommending environmental standards and strategies for Congress and the states to incorporate into legislation. But Nixon wanted the EPA to be an operating and enforcement-oriented agency. Ironically, the EPA that emerged is a more powerful agency than a cabinet-level department, because unlike a cabinet department that is more closely under the authority of the White House, the EPA enjoys more independence as an administrative agency.

The lack of congressional deliberation and a specific statutory mission has made the EPA a battleground for the competing views of what “the environment” comprises.
