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?
All the civil servants are highly talented, as you can see by how well they are paid. All of them would find work in the private sector easily, I’m sure.
I’m just worried about the trauma when they discover sweat glands and blisters.
