Question for the US residents on here, from someone looking in from the outside:

Why would people be celebrating the abolition of the Department of Education, or the Environmental Protection Agency?

From their names, I would assume that they are in charge of ensuring national education standards are met, and preventing pollution of the environment, am I off the mark here?

I could understand if people thought that they needed to be overhauled or restructured, or perhaps they were focused on the wrong things, but to completely abolish them?

Because they're both absolute wastes of taxpayer money and they've done nothing but fuck up everything they've touched.

Because the DOE lost its way and became corrupted decades ago. A fraction of the money earmarked for the education system actually makes it to the schools, because of money laundering thru contracts to companies that kick back to politicians and keep a ton for themselves. Then there’s the DEI and LGBTQ propaganda that is being pushed thru the education system, by the Obama and Biden administrations. Time to send it back to the states, where individual districts can fund schools and establish learning criteria based on what the parents actually want.

There's a book written by Regan's former Dept. of Education head called "the Intentional Dumbing Down of America". She goes into how the DoE has been "off track" for decades & has intent to harm America.

EPA has also gone sideways with regulations that impact industries under other regulatory bodies. They've passed regulations making the bulk electric system less reliable (which is interconnected from Northern MX through Canada). They enacted these regulations without consulting the DoE or the electric industry or their regulatory body of NERC.

I doubt either will be completely abolished, I hope gutted to an efficient core at least though.

Because a government bureaucracy.. has never been a net positive. Also states rights should always trump the federal government.

Ah, getting individual states to deal with education rather than the current system makes more sense to me. I forgot you kinda have 50 smaller governments under the big one over there.

BTW I have read in a couple of places that US AID was set up in Panama and was fascilitating the migrant flow through the Darien gap down there. According to a couple of reports the Darien has already started to dry up since Trump suspended the program.

Why wouldn't states want to retain as much control over their educational system?
Over the last few years
They all have proven they don’t give a fck about your or our kids safety or education
Forcing trans/gay shit down elementary school kids throat is proof enough for me

no state should control anything to do with education
