A Radical Idea from an Article

[Free Bird]

I remember reading an article once somewhere. It talked about ways to balance the budget, and among them was eliminating every cabinet department except for the Big Four. I assume of course that this involves also transferring the useful, Constitutional powers of the other departments to the ones that stay, but regardless of that, what do you think of the idea?

Libertarian wet dream

Hey man, even I think this is pushing it xD

Probably won't help, just create more gigantic bureaucracies with less oversight on top. (Assuming that the plan is to merge them into the big ones, rather than abolish them wholesale or make the states cover the gap)

I'm assuming the idea was to eliminate most of the unneeded bureaucracy of the others (otherwise why cut them?) and to give the few Necessary and Proper powers they once held to the Big 4
