Abolish Education, Agriculture, HUD, Agriculture, Labor, Transportation, DHS
Reduce Energy, Commerce, and Health
For the abolishments, the first 6 departments are mostly state issues. FAA should be privatized and keep NTSB. For DHS, most of those duties are better suited for Defense or independent of the cabinet. USSS returns to the Treasury. Energy should be mostly privatized, but nuclear weapons remain in the federal government.
This should reduce waste and be a burden off the shoulders of many taxpayers.
I work for HUD. It is a very flawed system. Rent reasonableness is a joke, and we are paying well above what individuals who are not receiving assistance can’t afford. Is intern runs of rent for non-section 8 Renters. The amount of people who are cheating the system is mind blowing, but we cannot do anything about it for fear of being sued. The organization is putting people in new build homes who do not work and have no plans of removing themselves from the system at any point. I enter each unit at least once every two years and at least 75% of the participants have someone living with them or an under the table job. The amount of people cheating the system clogs up the program. Intern, we do not help the most vulnerable people in our area who need help. In all honesty I just heartbreaking.
