Somebody remarked "Diplomacy is your first line of defense". So, WI the DoD & DoState were combined? What would it be called? What sort of limits would it have (if any)?
A second idea, originally proposed by LBJ (IIRC): combine DoCommerce, Labor, & Education. What might it be called? (I'm thinking Human Resources, but that's a bit to '90s. ) Could it also include HUD?
Would this save USG money? (I'm thinking both fewer officials/bureaucrats/Secretaries, & less duplication of programs.) Would it make the country any better off?
Thoughts on when it could be done? (Just elect a PotUS who thinks it's a good idea?) Or if it can be?
