Ya... laissez-faire capitalism also looks god on paper. But the reason that those governmental agencies are in place is because America tried that already, and it just doesn't work. The idea that the very existence of government 'wastes' money is wrong, period. Almost ALL real economic studies of government vs. privately run public service have shown that government provided services were more efficient and cheaper than thier private counterparts. The reason that all these government agencies exist is to try to ameliorate the excesses of capitalism. The Dept. of Energy doesnt have anything to do with gas prices, the market does, so you want to give more power to the oil companies? The Dept. of Education was established BECAUSE U.S. education was horrible in many places, and a modern power such as the U.S. needs consistent education standards across all it's regions.
Dismantling the government does not somehow put power in the hands of the people, it goes straight in the hands of corporations. His brand of 'constitutionalism' just doesn't work for a modern nation. America is no longer a nation of elitist gentleman farmers like the Framers had in mind, and trying to revert back to this 'ideal' will result in complete ruin.
