Propaganda can be expensive.

It was tiny, poorly assembled, and had no real purpose. Someone made money but you could see it in the displays that looked like a fifth grade teacher made them for a class room bulletin board. Who ever did it—had no background in museum work.

Closing a self-gratification museum with no public purpose of an agency exercising regulatory overreach in violation of the Constitution.

Ok. /s

Now let’s set about reversing all the damaging regulations, shall we, Mr. Zeldin? Or this will quickly look like more self-gratification.

So basically grift, a back door way to pay off someone.

It just goes to show they were getting so much money they had to come up with some way to spend it. Even something as idiotic as this. I get madder & madder at our senators & congressmen who were supposed to be doing “oversight.” Just criminal what has been going on.

The government is awash in money, drowning in excess funds. Nothing a 10% flat tax and a balanced budget law wouldn’t solve immediately.

The idea that there should be museums dedicated to federal departments is the height of an imperial government. That’s like saying there should be a museum to my local auto mechanic. Government agencies are not special.

NFN but the hung ceiling almost seems like the worst part.

It looks like a job fair.

from what I can tell, the story would be adequately told on an internet site.

Also, hard to compete with the Smithsonian.

I will admit there was a time and purpose for EPA, then in morphed into something beyond the original problem. There needs to be a life to these agency’s. Thank you trump for closing things down.

the other federal agency function site is interesting. There is a web in the deep state that is hard to see sometimes. it is ALL interrelated.

It would have been better attended if the museum documented how tax payer dollars flowed to NGOs spreading Democrat patronage to fund their election infrastructure. Trillions of dollars have been wasted by the EPA. Despicable.

Good post.

There are a lot of other shut-downs and layoffs happening today all over DC.

I am waiting for “official” mass media coverage to post them here.

The rest of this week is going to be impressive.
