Questions:

Does there need to be 1 employee of the Department of Agriculture for every 25 farmers in the United States?

Do we need 4,000 people at the Department of Education when the Department shouldn’t exist in the first place?

Can’t you merge several agencies into one eliminating thousands of jobs? Right off the top of my head merge HUD and HHS. Merge Agriculture, Transportation, Energy and Commerce.

Why does the executive branch require 30,000 employees including 1,000 not even in DC?

Why does the State Department require 12,000 of their 15,000 employees to be in DC instead of overseas?

Why do 535 members of Congress require 30,000 federal employees?

Why does NASA need 4,000 people in Washington DC?
