It's impossible to overstate the impact on Americans' lives if this @Whitehouse masterplan for transformation of US govt goes into effect: whitehouse.gov/wp-content/upl…

1.) Food safety moves out of @FDA to @USDA so ag/food industry can self regulate. Call it Fedl Food Safety Agcy.
MORE

[cont] 2.) Depts of Labor @USDeptLabor & of Education are eliminated. A new Dept. is created to regulate all labor, framing children's education as a teacher/labor issue.

[cont] 3.) Eliminate @HHSGov Health & Human Services. Split out all "welfare" related programs like food aid and child support. Create a new "welfare" agency governed by a special council. Merge in food & nutrition prgms from USDA. All family support prgms from all agencies merge

[cont] 4.) Replace @HHS with the Department of Health & Public Welfare (DHPW). This aims to "ensure that policies are applied consistently across all programs, potentially reducing confusing, complex, and sometimes
contradictory requirements across programs." [more]

[cont] 5.) Establish a Council on Public Assistance that oversees all giveaway programs to children & families, consolidating the politics & control of everything that is deemed "welfare" and "subsidies" for the poor under one powerful authority. {More]

[cont] 6.) Create a single public works agency. Eliminate Army Corps of Engineers & infrastructure agencies now in Dept. Transportation & Interior. Pull all under one umbrella, outside of DOD budget.
[MORE]

[cont] 7.) Eliminate the rural housing subsidies used to aid farmers & rural Americans now under @USDA. Put all under @HUD Housing & Urban Development w/focus on real estate sales & rentals programs. Improve opps for "Private-sector partners."
[MORE]

[cont] 8.) Consolidate all oceans, rivers, lakes & marine life conservation and fisheries management programs into a single authority, stripping existing ones from @EPA @USDA Dept of Commerce and give Dept of Interior total control.
[MORE]

[cont] 9.) Reinterpret the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation & Liability Act of 1980, and strip all toxic/waste clean-up programs from current authorities. Put it all under @EPA Superfund program.
[more]

[cont] 10.) Eliminate all humanitarian assist progs @StateDept & @USAID . Replace w/single agcy inside USAID: "to achieve strategic, coherent & seamless responses that best achieve our foreign assistance & policy goals & maximize our leverage & the value to the US taxpayer." MORE

[cont] 11.) Consolidate all development assistance aid overseas, "such as OPIC & DCA, in a reformed & modernized way to leverage more private-sector investment, provide strong alts to state-directed inits, create more innovative vehicles to open and expand markets for US firms"

[cont] 12.) Complete "structural reform" of @USAID, top2bottom to reduce costs & do "a significant re-envisioning of USAID & its potential to support U.S. national security, foreign policy, & economic goals while effectively managing & overseeing taxpayer-funded programs."
MORE

[cont] 13.) Reinterpret the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978, allowing creation of a single personnel authority to oversee, manage, hire & fire all non-military federal employees.
MORE

[cont] 14.) Create a single agency responsible for all "veterans cemeteries" -- stripping authority from the Armed Forces, Dept. of Interior etc. This would place military grave sites and Civil War battlefields like Gettysburg under one agcy.
