I'm going to disagree -- it wasn't until after WWI (maybe after WWII) that we had a regular Army -- the two-year funding limit on the army makes it rather clear that the intent of the founders was that the Congress was to commission/fund military missions [read campaign] on an individual basis. Deep cuts to the military/defense could have the very good effect of making the States nervous enough to fund their own armies (read militia).
We can get over that—there are millions that are either unnecessary or redundant. Line ‘em all up, and count every 5th one and fire him.
That's rather arbitrary: I'd go with dissolving whole departments: USDA, FDA, DOE, EPA, DEA, BATFE, FBI, [other] DOE, SSA... basically everything that's not directly authorized by the Constitution:
Yes—but you’re thinking it through, and I’m being flippant. I think it’s called “sick of government syndrome.” I came down with it about 4 or 5 yrs ago, when I realized how screwed we actually are.
