BREAKING: Former President Trump says he will get rid of the Department of Education if elected president.

“We’ll have a tiny group to make sure everyone is teaching English, math, etc. Department of Education goes.”

[FrankRizzo890]

That’s a good start.

[jeffersondem]

This promise alone makes voting for Trump mandatory.

Eliminating the Dept of Education would add 30 or more years to the life of the Republic.

[Sarah Barracuda]

LOL that’s why I said etc there are so many I couldn’t name them all LOL

[cross_bearer_02]

Excellent idea, and why stop just there? Let’s take a page out of Javier Milei’s playbook. Cut ‘em all! ¡Afuera!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

That would be a good start, but ALL the unconstitutional federal agencies need to go.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Hey, I’m already voting for him, you don’t have to convince me.

[Beowulf]

[Vermont Lt]

Exactly. Congress is the only entity that could dismantle it. And that isn’t going to happen.

I wish politicians (all of them) would stop talking in hyperbole and start fixing stuff they can actually impact.

[Jim Robinson]

Don’t forget the Department of Labor. Or the Department of energy And a whole lot more. cut, baby cut!

[Pollard]

Yep, make that get rid of the Federal Dept of ____________________

States are rich enough, educated enough and high tech enough to have their own versions.

[logi_cal869]

Trust me: I get it. My point was the footnote to the comment.

They won’t let it happen.

IMHO

(tin-hat off)

[MayflowerMadam]

WE know that’s a good thing, but the low-IQ voters will freak out. “My kids can’t go to school?”

[Mr. N. Wolfe]

If Trump gets elected he’ll be a lame duck on day one. At his age (78), he probably won’t be around in 10-15 years.

He might as well go scorched earth. Appoint people who are dedicated to reducing government. Decimate the deep state. Cripple the bureaucracy. Take no prisoners.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Well I'm sure Trump could issue edicts like a dictator like Biden does and completely ignore Congress, and Congress would be perfectly fine with that.

paging Milei

[glennaro]

It's a gutsy -- if not risky -- move that the Democrat/Communist Party will ferociously attack with warnings that this will deprive children, especially "black children" (notice how Democrat/Communists promote their unconditional love of "blacks" ... until after the election when Democrat/Communists treat black voters like dirt), of any type of education, thus depriving them of their civil rights, etc., etc. And Democrat/Communists will warn of a multi-tier educational system, ignoring the one that already exists.

Well, the point is that Trump doesn't have the support of the teacher union goons anyway ... and I am confident that he is fully prepared for the savage attacks that are already being launched at him ... Nothing New about that!

[Dr. Sivana]

It’s probably a lot easier said than done

Much will depend on the Senate elections. Reagan had promised to dismantle the then new Dept of Ed., and he wasn't ablto get out of the starting blocks. On the other hand, Reagan tried to cut off Planned Parenthood Title X funding, and was blocked. Trump got that one through when all the crazies were occupied with the Wall, etc.

[Bullish]

We all know what needs to be done and at the same time we all know what will NOT happen... Too many rats have feathered their nests in BIG govt agencies and have made it next to impossible to get rid of any of them.

It would take a military overthrow to end most of these out of control govt agencies at this point. They’re all way too entrenched and chock full of self serving, careerist looters and rats.

[Fai Mao]

Get rid of all non Constitutionally mandated departments.

[Sequoyah101]

Good Start.
