President Trump started moving the Department of the Interior to western states where nearly all of the federal lands that they are supposed to manage are located, but Biden killed the move.
Whichever Republican is elected President in 2024 needs to have a plan in place to move most of the government agencies out of the DC area and put it into effect on day one.
Interior is not that big. Agriculture should be moved to Fresno. Calif is lost. They’ll quit rather than move . Eliminate the entire department.
The big island(HI) is underdeveloped. Move SSI there. Paradise but most will quit within a year or 2.
I think HHS is the big enchilada. Where to move it? Detroit is now underdeveloped-heh heh. What about Chicago’s south side?
Make all the states compete for the departments. That way there’s no relocation costs. The states pay.
