I'm with you. I think we would get along just fine with the following departments eliminated:

Homeland Security (Most functions of which rightly belong to Defense, or to state and local agencies)

Education (All functions of which belong to state and local agencies)

Energy (with the National Nuclear Security Administration reorganized under Defense)

Housing and Uban Development (This one just needs to die.)

Health and Human Services (With CDC and FDA transfered to Commerce)

Labor (Again, usurping the functions of state and local agencies)

That's not to mention all the smaller offices and programs I'd like to see eliminated in the surviving departments.
