I know there is a sentiment here that the FedGov should be dismantled such that only Constitutionally relevant agencies exist. That would be one heck of a shrinkage!

Are there any FedGov services that should be preserved? Has this Board ever had a serious discussion about it?

For example, I value the research produced by the US Forest Service Research Stations. But I bet those would be cut in most people's resizing of the FedGov.

The world is far more complex than when the Constitution was ratified, and so I wonder what roles, if any, the FedGov would still play if/when we return to the Constitutional Republic?

Is it a matter of identifying where there is real value? Or is it simply cutting back to the boundaries of the Constitution?
