There are many great minds in the USA, some of which work in the public sector and some that work in the private sector. Why don’t we maximize the power of public/private partnerships to address some of the big challenges facing the nation? Together we have a much better chance of success.

The interdependency and joint aspects of modern warfare have made the concept of 4 separate services inefficient. The amount of staff required to operate four services could be reduced. There would still be Soldiers/Sailors/Airmen and Marines, but there would be one command structure.

Having Election Day and Tax day on the same date will increase accountability for the use of tax dollars. Imprudent use of government funds would likely result in the end of the line for elected officials.

There is a huge redundancy in infrastructure in the government. There are several support staffs that could be combined to gain efficiency. Support staff is the greatest opportunity to reduce the size of government. Consolidated operation like Payroll, HR, Legal, IT, etc are viable and more efficient. Some of these types of organizations exist already. DFAS for the DoD is a great example.

Current;y there are numerous agencies creating process improvement offices (Lean/Six Sigma? CPI/ToC, ets). Having a centralized process improvment organization will reduce redundency and allow for further impact of process improvement solutions. THis is especially true of business processes.
