The U.S. Departments of Education, Energy, Housing & Urban Development, Commerce, and Interior should be the first unconstitutional agencies closed. The states never gave constitutional authority for the federal government to create any of these agencies; therefore, Congress has the duty to immediately close all five of the agencies. If they were closed, U.S. taxpayers would save approximately $216 billion per year and we would have approximately 139,000 less federal government employees. Taxpayers would save at least $1 trillion in a 5 year span and, according to free market principles, the economy would naturally be doing much and the middle-class would start growing again.
