That sounds like a FANTASTIC first step.
Then I say we sunset agencies. Congress will have to regularly vote to re-enable them before the expiration date, and be on record doing so.
We get size and scope data, some will go away for good, and the administrative state will get limits.
Currently, the bureaucracy pumps out 80,000 pages of rules every year to the federal Register. Not one directly approved by Congress.
Government agencies, including Congress, could become think-tanks (if people REALLY feel like we HAVE to have them). They could make RECOMMENDATIONS, not compulsory laws, and people could choose to follow them if they think they are good ideas.
And these entities, like everything else in "government" could be crowd-funded, i.e., paid for VOLUNTARILY if people feel like they are worthy of support, like a GoFundMe campaign.
