Florida's Republican governor said he would seek to abolish the departments of Education, Commerce and Energy, as well as the IRS.
"If Congress will work with me on doing that, we'll be able to reduce the size and scope of government," he added. "If Congress won't go that far, I'm going to use those agencies to push back against woke ideology and against the leftism that we see creeping into all institutions of American life."

He... does know what the IRS is, right? The way the federal government gets money. What, is he going to expect the treasury to print more money?
My guess (assuming he has any sort of plan at all)? Tax farming, Roman style.
Private tax collection companies bid for government contracts based on how much money they think they can extract from the populace. Any amount they manage to collect above that they keep as profit.
