It's nice to know someone actually knows what some of these departments do.  When Sarah Palin recently said she would be good at running the Department of Energy I was stunned into silence.  Think about it.  Sarah Palin running Los Alamos.

Yes, I saw that. Amusingly, when prodded further she explained that she wanted more federal land to be opened up to fossil fuel production ... Which is a fair position if you're that way inclined, but actually falls under the Interior Department's remit. D'oh!

Anyway, talk of demolishing or scrapping agencies is overblown nonsense. At best maybe Commerce would be got rid of, and even then most of its staff and offices simply transferred to other agencies. No, the established patten for how to undermine an agency is to simply replace all its top figures with your own stooges and allow them to fester. Fossil fuel types to Interior and EPA; Union-busters to the NLRB; utility people to Energy etc. That's one of the powers everybody forgets presidents have.
