TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
The Trump administration proposes a massive reorganization of federal agencies
On June 21, the Trump administration released a blueprint for a massive overhaul of the federal bureaucracy, entitled “Delivering Government Solutions in the 21st Century, touching virtually every agency and impacting the way in which Americans receive government services.
“This effort, along with the recent executive orders on federal unions, are the biggest pieces so far of our plan to drain the swamp,” OMB Director Mick Mulvaney. “The federal government is bloated, opaque, bureaucratic and inefficient.”
The 126-page proposal contains a number of sweeping recommendations, including:
• Privatizing the Postal Service.
• Removing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from conservatorship and privatizing the GSEs
• Merging the Education and Labor departments.
• Reorganizing safety-net programs into a Department of Health and Public
Welfare.
• Creating a government-wide public-private partnership office to improve services to citizens, and stewardship of public resources.
• Relocating more staff and offices outside the National Capital Region.
• Dramatically shrinking the Office of Personnel Management.
• Revamping the Army Corps of Engineers.
The plan, led by Mulvaney, relies on three drivers of reform:
• Information Technology Modernization.
• Data, Accountability, and Transparency.
• People and the Workforce of the Future.
