Obama Announces Proposal to Consolidate Agencies, Shrink Government

Description:President Barack Obama asked Congress today for authority to shrink the U.S. government and create a single export agency, saying the bureaucracy was too complex and unable to meet the demands of a 21st century economy. Obama proposed merging six departments and agencies into one, a move that would effectively eliminate the Commerce Department. Obama said the overhaul was needed to create a more efficient government and would make it easier for U.S. businesses to get help to export their goods, (2:49)
