The Depts. of Energy and Education should be eliminated immediately. They are both totally useless and no one would miss them. That should be a GOP platform plank.
My understanding is that GOPe types won’t abolish the Dept. of Education because they think voters will think Republicans are “anti-education.” I think most people know that government bureaucrats are not doing anything to improve eduction.
I always love to hear how education should be under local control, but if you talk about getting rid of an entire government agency, people poop their pants.
The two biggest problems with all of this are:
Surrendering control to folks who don’t live there or care
Allowing radicals, whether it be enviro whackos or libera/communists/progressive on school boards
