I'm curious. Why keep Agriculture, the Interior, Commerce, and HHS? They're no better than the ones you're abolishing.

I remember an economist who argued that the only departments the federal government really needed were the "original four" - State, Defense (the successor of the War and Navy departments), the Treasury, and Justice. I tend to agree.

I would keep them in a severely scaled back form. Ag includes the USDA,which insures food safety.... Interior includes the Natl Parks......Commerce the census..........HHS includes Social Security/Medicare which are untouchable.
