You could lay off everybody working for those agencies, but the stuff they do will continue to be done somewhere in the government, if only by a Presidential staff aide in the Old Executive Office Building.
You must RID the law of the enabling legislation for the programs they administer. You must eliminate both their staff AND their other resources from the appropriations lists in the appropriations bills.
If you don't take away their "stuff" our legal system will simply require someone else to dispose of the "stuff" as usual.
Caine has not proposed any additional funding or staff for any of those agencies. He has proposed cutting a variety of the programs they administer.
All those guys who are or used to be Governors know that ~ but they're not telling you about it so you don't know. Sarah knows ~ she went after the laws that enabled corrupt practices. She POd the Democrats and Republicans, the Left and the Right in Alaska by doing that. Here's Herman Caine telling you where the action "isn't", and he's right.
Newt Gingrich knows but he's still trying to get all that stuff out of his mind ~ probably imagines them to be cobwebs or something.
Kasich in Ohio and Daniels in Indiana know where to cut to the bone ~ they'd probably say pretty much the same thing as Caine.
Besides Palin and Cain, are there any real Conservatives running for Republican candidate for President?
