A reader:
Doesn’t that poll prove that the federal government is
too big? More than mere ignorance (the power of which
I don’t discount) must be at work here. Surely we
don’t need 19 departments. I had no idea that some of
these positions (EPA, Drug Policy, trade rep) were
Cabinet positions now. (I could only reach 13
myself, although I ought to have thought of Energy and
Transportation.)
