The Trump administration issued an ambitious proposal Thursday to shrink government and reorganize how services are delivered to citizens, a plan that touches on nearly every corner of American life, from pizza to postal delivery.

The proposal would merge the departments of Education and Labor into a new Department of Education and the Workforce. Safety net services and food aid would be consolidated into the newly named Department of Health and Public Welfare, and rural housing assistance, now at the Department of Agriculture, would shift to the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Food safety programs, now overseen by the Department of Agriculture and Food and Drug Administration, would be consolidated into a new Federal Food Safety Agency.

The proposal is the result of a yearlong effort by Mick Mulvaney, a small-government crusader who leads the White House Office of Management and Budget. He called the plan the biggest reorganization of government since President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Depression-era New Deal.

“It’s been almost 100 years since anybody really reorganized the government at this type of scale. It’s been since FDR and his New Deal, where he changed the way the government worked,” Mulvaney said during a Cabinet meeting at the White House. “We haven’t changed it very much since then, which means we’re almost 20 percent into the 21st century, but we’re still dealing a government that is from the early 20th century.”

Congress has much bigger fish to fry, like how to give themselves another raise.

he got big pension
...he was allowed to save mucho holiday/vacation pay..I think he got a whole year of vacation pay when they moved the operations to another state
when we were growing up, we had no money = poor with 6 kids of course
...plus a lot of the '''less educated/less motivated workers'' [ ] are in government jobs= we know there is inefficiency/laziness/etc there

Great news but that is going to be a battle royale. No one in government wants to give up their little empire.

 

[del]

going no place, like everything the cheeto touches

 

[JakeStarkey]

Bunch of nonsense because it will never happen.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Obama submitted a similar plan and it never even made it out of committee.

We are still waiting on the Infrastructure proposal to materialize.

Slaying the swamp, one by one.

How the hell do crap proposals that go nowhere slay anything?

If Trump really wanted to slay the swamp he'd pack his crew up and go back to playing golf and fucking pornstars (medication permitting).

my dad worked for the government and he would tell stories of laziness/sleeping/etc

I once had a coworker that used to work with NASA here in Cleveland. Some of the stories he told were almost unbelievable. They had to use their stipend or get it cut for the next year, so they wasted as much money as they could.

They would buy a truckloads of office supplies that they didn't need, so the employees took them home. Boxes of pens, pencils, paper, printer cartridges, calculators, even filling cabinets. He told me they would hire the most expensive construction companies to do something like remove and replace a 3,000 foot sidewalk, have it removed and replaced again in six months.

If I were Trump, I would create an oversight committee to detect waste and abuse. They would get paid by commission based on how much they save the taxpayers.
