"The Bush administration will reveal plans today for creating two commissions to evaluate all federal government agencies and eliminate those that do not perform as promised. The 'Sunset Commission' and the 'Results Commission' will review the efficiency and necessity of all government agencies and recommend scrapping those that don't fulfill their clear mission statements.
"...The Sunset Commission aims to hold agencies and programs accountable for their performance by reviewing each federal program on a schedule established by Congress to determine whether it is producing results and should continue to exist. Under the plan, programs would automatically terminate according to that schedule unless Congress takes specific action to continue them. The Results Commission will also seek to identify areas where government programs duplicate duties."

Eliminate redundant programs? I had to check the calender to make sure it was not April 1st.

It should work out exactly as planned--- the plan being to generate more political contributions from those who might see their soft jobs in peril.
I've pretty much decided that almost all government programs are set up to do that

He's going to make the government smaller by making it bigger, eh?
Don't listen to 'im. He's the first President since Reagan to increase the size of government by a whole new cabinet-level bureaucracy. And if I remember correctly, the last one before Reagan was Nixon. What's this again about Republicans advocating smaller government?
"But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain--that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist." --Lysander Spooner, 1867
