Sweeping Trump proposal seeks to shrink government, merge agencies
The Trump administration issued an ambitious proposal Thursday to shrink government and reorganize how services are delivered to citizens, a plan that touches on nearly every corner of American life, from pizza to postal delivery. The proposal is the result of a yearlong effort by Mick Mulvaney, a small-government crusader who leads the White House Office of Management and Budget. He called the plan the biggest reorganization of government since President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Depression-era New Deal.
The proposal would merge the departments of Education and Labor into a new Department of Education and the Workforce. Safety net services and food aid would be consolidated into the newly named Department of Health and Public Welfare, and rural housing assistance, now at the Department of Agriculture, would shift to the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Food safety programs, now overseen by the Department of Agriculture and Food and Drug Administration, would be consolidated into a new Federal Food Safety Agency.
The plan seeks to restructure and possibly privatize the U.S. Postal Service. Power assets owned by the Tennessee Valley Authority and the Department of Energy would be sold and clean-up programs housed at several departments would be consolidated within the Environmental Protection Agency’s multibillion-dollar Superfund program. The Army Corps of Engineers’ civilian work would be moved out of the Department of Defense to the Department of Transportation. Management of dams, ecosystem-restoration work and the Clean Water Act permitting program would go to the Department of the Interior.
