cut away large parts, or eliminate, Dept of Education and much of the EPA....

United States Department of Agriculture
United States Department of Commerce
United States Department of Education
United States Department of Energy
United States Department of Health and Human Services

bolster and add Immigration areas:Border Patrol, Visa processors and investogators, deportation investigators.

Secure the borders, throw out the criminal invaders and let's carry the "big stick" of our munitions technology instead of gratuitously wasting the precious lives of our troops.
