<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Ted Nugent for DOJ. Make him rename Homeland Security to something less Nazi-fied. Wayne LaPierre head of the ATFE, which in my opinion should be a convenience store and not a government agency anyway.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The good news - he has several good quality people to choice from for each department - unlike the other side. I agree the first move should be to look at a few of these departments and put them on the bread line while spending some of the money on our safety and the VA.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I hope that whichever candidate wins, they are imbued with the thought that if they choose folks who think like them, the only thing they'll get is "yes sir" at cabinet meetings. We need diverse opinions in all these posts.<br /><br />We'll need a decorated veteran for Defense, likewise Homeland Security. State should be headed by a real-world negotiator. HUD by someone who believes that even Detroit and Gary can prosper: integration of new business and gentrification. <br /><br />Transportation needs to be headed by somebody who sees beyond the interstate highway system and believes in modernizing and expanding high-speed rail. Energy needs integration of alternate energy sources and nuclear power generation. Education needs to break the strangle-hold of PC on Liberal Arts and primary and secondary education. <br /><br />I wish I knew people of this ilk. Of course they all need to be 45 or younger.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>First I would clean up the 14 different cabinets, roll a few into each other, eliminating a number of positions saving the tax payers money. I would look for past presidents, US Experts in their respective fields, and have diversity under each cabinet position, so we are able to get a large spectrum and multiple point of views.<br />Education is priority.<br />Military and our safety is #2 - Defense, Homeland Security and Veterans Affairs would roll into one. since it's all military anyway (I am prior service and attends the VA).<br />Agriculture and Labor - into one<br />Energy <br />Treasury <br />Transportation, Commerce and State we could roll into one.<br />Housing, Human Services and Interior - roll into one

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>After the last two terms of someone who dismantled America, I would pick those who truly believe in making us GREAT AGAIN. I would select people like Ben Carson, Lt. Col. Allen West, and others with little to no political experience who were very boisterous against the last administration.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My team and I would assess the required roles &amp; responsibilities of each agency within the first 100 days (might have to work 24/7), remove the unintentional redundancies to eliminate/streamline the systems and processes and agencies (bureaucracy).

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I would get rid of DHS. It was formed after 9-11 due to the various agencies not communicating with each other. Now we have an even larger bureaucracy in which the various agencies still don&#39;t communicate &amp; coordinate. Since our military is much smaller than Vietnam, eliminate all 4-star positions. The services are drowning in military political appointees. The services need military leaders. The VA needs a massive shake-up. Massive. I used to work for them. The culture &amp; the mob mentality needs to drastically change. Those who break laws, fudge numbers, or lie to Congressional committees like we have seen too many times in the past, need to be fired on the spot, &amp; no pension. No transferring them to other VA or other agency positions. Bad apples need to be let go, not moved to a different bucket.
