David Rothkopf : Of all the organs of the federal government, the Department of Transportation should be abolished.

He says it provides infrastructure grants to state and local governments, owns and operates the nation's outdated air traffic control system, regulates transportation, and regulates all modes of transportation.

Rothpf: It would be relatively straightforward to abolish the DOT and hand this function off to an independent federal agency.
