Let’s abolish DOE, OSHA, FEMA, ATF, COE, staffers for congressrats, (along with free haircuts, lunches, retirement programs and expense money as well!)
You forgot the Dep. Of Education, Dep. Of Welfare, Public Broadcasting. These liberals seem to forget the Main purpose of the Government is to protect its people. The rest of the stuff is un-Constitutional and should be eliminated first.
You forgot to mention one department that should be abolished - IRS.
That's a good statement fwingart. Say...is the US government providing funds to the ACLU? If so, we can cut that out right now.

I like your idea better. Can we add the NEA to it?
I am going to repeat this. I DO NOT WORK FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT and anyone who says differently is a slanderer. However, I don’t believe that Federal agencies are automatically evil, nor are many of the people in them mindless bureaucrats. Of course, I work in IT, where the Federales I do meet are pretty sharp.
Companies have a natural lifespan. Agencies don’t. They just try to change the mission. Instead of thinking that way, think of an agency as a project — something with a definite goal and end — not as a permanent creation.
Of course, one size does not fit all. Certain functions are so vital they must be kept going. However, that list should be pretty small.
