This is a case study in how to effect a major reduction in force in the government sector. And the Federal government needs it badly. Transfer these agencies out to the lower cost states in flyover country. If this could cause a 20% reduction in force it would show a path for finally getting some control over the Swamp.

If you ask me all of DC should be relocated to the center of the country. Ask each of Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska to cede a little land to create a new federal district. Give DC back to Maryland and Virginia. Start over.

I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, I’m scared of contaminating free states with goober-drones, but OTOH, having government agencies staffed by normals and not career bureaucrats could only be good.

Agreed. As well, I believe it makes a whole lot of sense to have the agencies located where most of its responsibilities are. Very little agriculture happens in DC/MD/VA Metro area.
