Trump is going to dismantle two agencies.

[Ronnie]

How many is glad that Trump is going to dismantle the Department of Education, the schools will again be under state control and parents will the say in their children’s education.

It’s a sure bet that the IRS is going to be history.

What changes would you like to see in our government?

I don't think anything good has ever come out of the Dept of Education so I'd be glad to see that go. The more decentralized education decisions are made the better, by my way of thinking.

I suspect the IRS will survive Trump. I'd like to see FEMA downsized and the Environmental Protection Agency shrunk to maybe a 100 personnel to investigate actual environmental disasters that occur because of carelessness. The EPA shouldn't have the power it currently is exercising against the states right now. The EPA needs to be drastically re-ordered and its teeth removed.

We need to make sure that agencies cannot be weaponized or politicized.

I'd like to see Department of Energy get out of non-energy stuff, and

GIVE US BACK OUR BELOVED REAL INCANDESCENT LIGHT BULBS!!!
(and get rid of those infernal CFLs, halogen pretend incandescents, cheap LEDs, LED-only lamps with the sockets that won't accommodate real incandescent bulbs, etc., etc., etc.)


FDA needs to go back to real science and actually properly do what they're mandated to do, NO LOBBYISTS OR BRIBES!

HHS needs to get out of non-HHS stuff (i.e., leave the guns alone . . . DON'T TOUCH!

DOD needs to put on its big boy and big girl pants and stop the transgender nonsense. VA needs to get out of the transgender business, as well. And simply disallow LGBTQABCXYZ etc.

I like the LED bulbs for supposedly using less electricity, though I'll admit, when I swapped out all my bulbs to fluorescents I didn't notice a smaller electrical bill, and the same when I swapped fluorescents for LEDs.

@Ronnie, did Trump make this claim? What was your source? I think I may have seen something about the DOE but don't remember if it was from Trump or a Trump supporter.

Another institution that funnels lots of money around is the National Science Foundation. They even fund censorship 'think tanks.'

FBI should not get a new building, but get moved far from DC.

It looks like it is heading in this direction.

Forbes get into some detailed projections. In any event...this will be a time to stock up on popcorn and watch it play out.

Will Trump Eliminate The Department Of Education? What We Know As Elon Musk Applauds ‘Good Idea.’

Trump has said he’ll close the Department of Education “very early” in his administration. Here’s what that could mean.

I'll be glad to see the Dept of Education shutdown. That way states can decide how to organize and teach K-12. In some states education may degrade even more than it has while in other states children may actually start learning again and be able to read and write proficiently by the time they graduate from high school. The most power parents have is the choice to home school or send their kids to public or private schools. Families may decide to move from a liberal state to another state that becomes known for a good education system.

I doubt the IRS will be shutdown. At least right now they serve a purpose, like the IRS or not. Before the IRS was shut down, an alternative would be needed. Maybe Trump will take away all the guns and ammo the IRS has...

I would like to see the EPA massively downsized and its mission changed to something very finite and miniscule compared to what they're doing these days... The EPA should lose any authority they have to mandate anything of states and communities. They should be the agency where pollution issues are reported to and then, if necessary, EPA can prosecute a corporation through the court system if it comes to that.

Oops, looks like I already posted some thought upstream...

This!

Whoever is installed as the new head of all agencies when Trump is inaugurated should investigate all employee actions over the last 4 years to discover and prosecute and/or punish any action that violated the civil liberties of any US citizen.

I honor and respect the brilliance in this post! Could you share with us what CFPB stands for? Only asking for those who don't know...

LOL sure. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau -- put in place by Obama to over-analyze, harass, fine and sue members of the financial banking/lending community. There have been many instances of over-reach over the years and the typical CFPB analyst has never worked in finance or even understand the fundamentals.

Bear in mind while reading the linked article that the publisher is solidly entrenched in Washington DC politics, being the voice of the civil service leadership; so there is a bias in the reporting.

 

[Tall Timbers]

It seems that the main source for the article is project 2025 which I don't believe President Trump has even endorsed. President Trump has his own plan of which I don't remember the name.
