Eliminate Department of Education, Department of Energy, Department of Housing and Urban Development, Department of Labor, and the Department of Homeland Security from the auspices of the federal government wholecloth.
Revert the Coast Guard back to the Department of the Treasury, Border Patrol/Customs back to Department of Justice and consolidate the 14 intelligence gathering agencies back into the Central Intelligence Agency.
Re-organize and consolidate the Federal Bureau of Investigation as the criminal investigations department of the US Marshall's Office.
Remove all rule-making authority from the Environmental Protection Agency, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Federal Communications Commission and a whole miriad of federal agencies that need to get back into the habit of taking the rules they enforce from Congress.
Then, I'd cut the head count at the Internal Revenue Service down to no more than 20 people per state or US Territory, and tell the Congress to write them a tax code that is possible for all of them to carry around in their back pocket.
Every Czar and their staffs would be out of a job tomorrow.
All of the cost savings from this activity would go to paying down the debt the Congress-shits have racked up over the past 65 years or better. After that, Congress would have every future spending bill rejected if it didn't include a reduction in tax rates - individual and corporate - to single digit levels across the board. (If God is only interested in 10% of my increase, Congress had better learn where they are on the pecking order in relation to God, and scale their demands accordingly.)
Outstanding, D6. I love it.
We're in the habit of picking on Congress and its parasitic support systems, but I'd like to take a long, hard look at our legal system.
I'm no attorney and I don't know if something like what I'm proposing is already done, but assuming that it isn't, I'd love to see a system whereby attorneys submit briefs that are reviewed for merit, before any court date is scheduled. If the brief is shitcanned, the attorney ponies up $300 per brief for court costs. (Yeah, I know that would be passed on to the client, but at least it gets the client to at least engage brain before filing a frivolous lawsuit.)
There is a SHITLOAD of work to do at DoD. The whole system needs to be dismantled and they need to start over again, cleaning out the corruption, graft, waste, and fraud that DoD has entwined into it. Rumsfeld thought he could clean it out, but he was wrong -- that's a job waaaaaaaay bigger than any one man.
Roll back the Brownlow Committee's work to 1939 levels and have their recommendations reviewed by Congress once every five years with a requirement to increase the president's operational budget only to keep pace with inflation. That might eliminate some - but not all - of the bloat that the president's own office has managed to accumulate. For Michelle Obama to have a staff of people larger than most CEOs of Fortune 100 corporations is criminal.
