Is this for real?  He does know that it takes an act of Congress to  create new cabinet-level departments, right?  And isn't he supposed to be cutting government instead of creating new bureaucracies?

It's not going to work out that way.  Only Congress can disestablish agencies and departments.  He's just creating more bureaucracy.

We'll see what happens considering that he'll have a majority in Congress. He has mentioned that he wants to get rid of the Dept. of Education. There's a whole lot of agencies that need to be flushed down the toilet that would save us taxpayers some $$.

Woah, slow down. 

This is a focused and completely necessary way to go after the problem at hand, just like naming Homan a border czar to attack that problem.

Cabinet level may be too much I agree but this might not materialize the way you visualize.  In any case,  Musk and Vivek will be excellent herer, but I do hope that Ron Paul has a consulting role in this effort as he has practiced for decades to identifying government waste.

If Musk can get $2 trillion in cuts, then this is a wildly successful addition to the bureaucracy

Agreed. Ron Paul in a consulting role would be excellent.

   I hope RIV ain't blowing smoke up me azz.

No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

Cabinet level may be too much I agree

It's not in the government and the shelf life runs to July 4, 2026.

This is unique, focused and outside the box.  And, it already scares the beuracracy  :laugh:

No one's creating a cabinet level (or any level) government department.  This department is outside the government.

I was afraid they'd just skimmed Trump's announcement and completely missed the words.

But, I see your point @Bigun  888blackhat
