Decimating the Executive Branch of the Federal Government

Thoughtful Ideas
By Alvin Rabushka

This post presumes the election of Mitt Romney as president on November 6, 2012. Assuming he is genuinely intent on reducing the scope, size, and cost of government, he should adopt as his symbol the “ax,” not the “scalpel.” Trimming agency personnel and budgets is not durable. Only eliminating agencies can remove their cost and the harmful effects of their intervention in the private affairs of individuals and enterprises.
