Shut it down!
This week Republicans and Democrats got together to avert a government shutdown. Too bad. There's so much that ought to be shut down. Useless Cabinet departments, for example, like Housing and Urban Development, Labor and Agriculture. Agriculture employs a...
...start with the S.E.S. [ senior executive service ]
Purging. So much purging. I'd start with CPS and D. of E. IRS. I do not know fully which dept is stealing farms from private citizens or facilitating shit like Maui. If we can't stop the deep state from burning down our forests and towns and hiding Nazis in Antarctica and pretending we have water problems and vaxxing our children and destroying our herds of wild horses.......
ALL 3 letter agencies - and all their employees that can't be voted out. Gotta go.
They've proven they cannot be trusted, they aren't doing the work of We The People and they've wasted SO MUCH of our wealth repeatedly over the years playing games - not to mention, getting cocky and doing things against all of us.
Flush 'em ALL and start over.
Military can cover DOE, FCC and other areas where there is an immediate need, until we come up with suitable replacements.
It took us a long time to get here and we will not remedy our problem in one term or with one man. cutting off the heroin of government largess overnight will cause REAL social chaos and in the end will build support for an even more socialist, controlling government.
Start with eliminating support to NPR, National Endowment for the Arts and similar.
the charter for the Fed should be revoked and ALL currency/monetary policy returned to the Treasury.
EPA is at best redundant and IMO worthless and has no reason to exist. If there are legitimate functions, place in Dept of Interior.
A lot of initial steps could be made with minimal social unrest by consolidating functions before they can be cut later down the line. For example, the only program in Dept of Ag that needs to (short term) survive is food rations. Move that to HHS and shut down Ag.
Department of Energy includes the NNSA. It was placed there specifically to keep it out of DoD. Needs to find a new home. The rest are likely unnecessary but cutting management for critical infrastructure will be delicate. Industry will need time to gear up for a new paradigm.
There are some educational programs that should be supported for national security and competitiveness reasons, such as key and low density foreign languages and STEM programs. Return educational support to the original national DEFENSE Student Loan program and cut out support to worthless degrees. If there is critical training that is lacking in the market place eg precision manufacturing skills) that can be included. Move all to Labor (must retain short term as part of the gradual process) and strip Labor of the union advocacy role.
Elimination by consolidation, moving functions and not personnel, is a reasonable first step.
Great illustration of Republican incompetence is that we're still funding PBS and NPR.
Waiting...
Too big a question. Maybe outline and break into parts w info about each agency. Lots of fingers in lots of pies
True, as Mow-Lawn-Lah-Bay points out, it might be easier to simply say which ones should be kept.
The IRS should be top of the list. After that the EPA.

Lol this is awesome!
It would be much easier, and shorter to list the agencies that shouldn't be shut down.
Now I need to carefully think of which one that would be.
First to go: The ATF.
