Department of Cabinet Shuffles

Unfortunately, there?s no sign this reorganization is actually going to happen. You can get a sense of how serious the administration is about shepherding the proposal through Congress from the fact that they haven?t settled on a name for the new department. The Small Business Administration, flush with its new cabinet status, thinks the new department will be a bigger, better SBA. The U.S. Trade Representative, already with cabinet rank, may bristle at that. The existing Department of Commerce, meanwhile, simply sees this as an increase of its power, as it subsumes previous separate agencies. A very similar proposal from Jitinder Kohli and Jordan Eizenga at the Center for American Progress last March called the hypothetical new agency the Department for Business, Trade, and Technology. Inside the administration, it seems there may be more affection for the buzzier name Department of Competitiveness. Either way, nobody inside or outside the administration genuinely expects the reorganization to occur, either during this Congress or even after the election.
