Shutter them both along with the others. Return all health, education, labor, welfare, etc, functions to the states where they belong per the constitution.
I agree. I’d like to close about 9 Federal departments (which irritated the Ron Paul crowd. he was proposing to close five of them, and I called him a statist for leaving too many in place.)
But if you’re going to do a pairing, why those two?
Good point Jim. The goal should be to minimize the size of the federal government so it can focus on the few things it is mandated to do in the US Constitution.
Of course the left is all about making the federal gov so big it controls everything from cradle to grave putting all the power in one set of socks in one drawer rather than spreading it out over 50 drawers so people have a choice in what kind of state and government they prefer.
Well, obama proved how that one drawer can be corrupted, and it may take a decade or two to weed out all the bad actors in that one DC drawer because of it.
