You could ELIMINATE every single federal agency including DOD and USPS and the savings in salaries and operating costs would be covered up by the rounding factors in the federal budget.

The problem with eliminating the USPS is that the Constitution authorizes a postal service; and as I said, being a Constitutionalist, I’d strive for following the Constitution.

The DOD itself isn’t mentioned in the Constitution and could therefore be eliminated; the same with the Air force, NASA, the Coast Guard. If those entities do serve a valid federal function they should be folded into Constitutionally sanctioned organizations (ie Air Force -> Army Air Corp).
