WHAT A MINUTE !!!!
It might be easier to list what would remain or be added!!!



UNDER THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH . . .


Department of Defense would remain
but trimmed down to NAVY/COAST GUARD & AIRFORCE
The U.S. Army would be dispersed to State militias.

No more NSA, etc., meaning eliminate these:


    Department of Defense Inspector General
    National Defense University
    National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency
    National Security Agency (NSA)
    Pentagon Force Protection Agency
    Prisoner of War/Missing Personnel Office
    TRICARE Management
    U.S. Fleet Forces Command
    U.S. Military Academy, West Point
    Unified Combatant Commands (Defense Department)
    Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences
    Washington Headquarters Services
    Federal Voting Assistance Program

Department of Treasury would remain but eliminate these:    

    Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau
    Bureau of Engraving and Printing
    Bureau of the Public Debt
    Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC)
    Taxpayer Advocacy Panel
    Financial Management Service


leaving only:

United States Mint

and the I.R.S. - which would no longer have Form 1040, etc and would be
renamed to CORE (Corporation Oversight and Restitution Enforcement)

Should all Government acronyms be required to be 4 letters ? :-0)


General Services Administration would remain and be consolidated to include the Office of Personnel Management.
( standard needs of any business )

One agency would be tasked with Safety Review ( review Nuclear plants, etc )
This would really just be a replacement for NRC, OSHA, EPA, etc
and the policies would be fairly limited by the NAP constitution.



UNDER THE JUDICIAL BRANCH


Eliminate these:
FISA Courts
Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation
U.S. Tax Court
Federal Judicial Center
U.S. Sentencing Commission


UNDER THE LEGISLATIVE BRANCH

The new NAP constitution would limit terms(length) of service
for all Senate and House members.



Now then . . .

some of those things that would be eliminated (like Social Security)
would require a gradual reduction, some things not so slow and some fairly slow,
but CORE would convert(from IRS) rather quickly and 1040 would be dropped immediately   :-0)




For the hard core Anarchy believers . . .  would this be a good step in that direction ?
