To be fair, I think we could cut every federal department 50% and life would be better. While every department likely has some value, I also know every department has considerable waste. Federal Department of Education comes to mind. My state has one. I'm sure yours does, too.

Start with the IRS and the rest will fix itself.

The IRS is only the collection agency for the Fed

The IRS/Taxation is the only reason anyone is forced to use the Fed's trash dollars.

I always keep an open mind about the potential usefulness of any organization. But, there are definitely some I feel could probably be entirely eliminated. What is amazing is when I say this, some people are unaware that things like the federal Department of Education didn't exist before 1979. America did well for 200 years without it.

I am convinced Betsy DeVos was picked solely to shut down the DoE. She was the perfect person to do it. I see no indication she even tried.

Every federal department has a duplicate at the state level. We don’t need the feds intervening at the state level

This is why the entire govt just coalesced behind ousting Trump. The threat from MAGA was wiping out hundreds of thousands of govt jobs, careers, pensions, and other kickbacks. They responded as one to the threat.
