The White House on Thursday proposed the most comprehensive plan to reorganize the federal government in 100 years, including a merger of the departments of Education and Labor, and a proposal to add work requirements for welfare programs.
“Businesses change all the time,” said White House Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney. “Government doesn’t, and one of the things you get when you hire a businessman to become president is you bring this attitude from the private sector.”
The sweeping reorganization plan stems from an order signed by Mr. Trump in March 2017 calling for a review of the federal government to streamline agencies and reduce waste. The combined education and labor department would be called the Department of Education and the Workforce, or DEW, and would oversee programs for students and workers.
In a presentation to the Cabinet, Mr. Mulvaney cited examples of bringing all food-safety regulations under the Agriculture Department, instead of sharing those responsibilities with the Food and Drug Administration.
“If it’s cheese pizza, it’s FDA, but you put pepperoni on it and it becomes a USDA product. I mean, come on?” he said. “An open-faced roast beef sandwich is USDA, a closed-faced roast beef sandwich is FDA. Not making this up. You can’t make this kind of stuff up. This would only happen in the government.”

Drain the swamp. Starve out the swamp dwellers.
Pare down the bloated overgrown government
Great move.Also need to claw back money millionaires and billionaires who got rich investing pension fund money and losing it all the while they got rich off fees.
Bad government grows itself like weeds in every crack and crevice. Good government has a responsible gardener, one that knows the flowers from the weeds and is willing to do extensive weeding when necessary.
Throw term limits in there and I'm sold!!!!!
About time. Government always grows under liberal rule. Jobs for votes.

Democrats did not want President Trump.in
Restructuring means they get the boot
One of the reasons' the Fed Gov't gets a bad rep is due to Political Appointees' who come in each administration without any knowledge of the positions they are in. Then you find abuses in said positions without any accountability, they leave and the next political appointee takes over.
Total amount of Fed Gov't civil servants = approx. 2.7 million. This does NOT include gov't contractors!!!! 2.7 million compared to over 300 million US citizens is a rather small percentage!
