The argument that is made is that because you can entirely abolish a whole slew of agencies and other programs (welfare etc.) it&#x27;s not as simple as just looking at current budgets, you need to factor in the savings you get from axing the agencies.<p>To be clear I&#x27;m not saying that it&#x27;s viable, I&#x27;m just saying that your calculation is not the one proponents of the idea are using.
