How to save the American Tax payers Millions

If we would simply insist that Congress do away with Federal Government agencies that are not needed the budget could be balanced and the tax rate could go down. Let me give you some examples.
Home Land Security agency is a joke, even in law enforcement circles. The FBI has done a great job of preventing attacks on "home soil" and has a long history of doing so. The TSA really means Thousands Standing Around, proper use of Border Patrol, US Marshall Service, Customs and several other agencies would allow the TSA and homeland security to be done away with. Provide the funds and people that are really needed to get the job done properly.
Do away with the Department of Education on the federal level, schools are a local responsibility, why should the local government send monies to Washington DC and then DC simply send it back, if the local districts jump through the right hoops. This not a circus, let the local districts keep their money.
Do away with the Federal Department of Transportation, the building of roads should be left up to the states, don't take our tax money to pay someones do nothing salary and then give us only part of it back. Leave the money on the state level and we can take care of our own roads. The Federal grants are really money taken away from the state and local government.
Do away with the social welfare agencies on the Federal level, return that power and money to the local government and let the local government meet the area needs, they know the needs better than someone in Washington.
Do away with the IRS as it is today, flat tax everyone and business at a rate of 10% and you will not need the HUGE Internal Revenue Service, the IRS could go back to what they should be doing. Perhaps the "Fair Tax" method would work and in a nut shell that is a Federal/Local sales tax.
There are ways to reduce the Federal government, it will take people with back bones and courage to do it.
