Ah, thanks DD.

I'll put you in the position of Secretary of Housing and Urban Development :lol:
Actually, given my background in real estate and real estate closings, and being familiar with how utterly retarded many of the HUD regulations and forms are, and knowning that HUD is much more pernicious that most people realize and effects much more of people's lives everywhere in this nation than most people realize, I could do that and fix a lot of problems.

On the other hand, IF you were president that is an empty offer because I know that you would wisely eliminate HUD and several other cabinet offices. Good try ;)

Nice catch. Though there really wouldn't be too many cabinet offices available, as I would be doing quite a bit of job slashing. (Don't tell the Federal employee voters that...)

Maybe I could put you in the Secretary of Selling Federal Land to Pay Off Debt position... though that wouldn't be long-lived either, depending on how efficient you are :p

personally, I would say that a position in some sort of beauracracy auditing would be preferable...

theres a whole lot of Federal alphabet soup that should be eliminated....

Why not just eliminate 7-8 current cabinet level departments (HUD, HHS, Education, DHS, Transportation, labor, commerce and agriculture) and create a new department to further trim the federal departments that I'll head up - say we call it the "Department of Redunancy Elimination Department"

actually, I would say in order to find out which agencies would be best eliminated, go to teh constitution. since "all powers not delegated" will remain in the hands of the states, if the Constitution doesn't mention it, close it down.
