If - and as soon as - the GOP comes to power:-
Quote:
Congress should defund most federal agencies, investigate and refer charges, and create rapid offense comms teams. States should block federal agencies from operating within their borders.
Defund everything except the military, the Customs and Border Protection, and Social Security/Medicare/Medicaid and whatever Congress and those areas need for support. (This may need modifying, but not much.) So, what departments can be shut down temporarily or permanently with minimal disruption outside the bureaucracies themselves?
• Department of Agriculture
• Department of Commerce
• Department of Education
• Department of Energy
• Department of Health and Human Services
• Most of Department of Homeland Security
• Department of Interior
• Department of Labor
• Most of the Department of State
• Department of Transportation
Major Agencies:
■ AmeriCorps
■ Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)
■ Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
■ Farm Credit Administration (FCA)
■ Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA)
■ Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA)
■ Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS)
■ National Endowment for the Arts (NEA)
■ National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH)
■ National Railroad Passenger Corporation (AMTRAK)
■ National Science Foundation (NSF)
■ Office of Government Ethics (OGE)
■ Peace Corps
■ Small Business Administration (SBA)
■ Thrift Savings Plan (TSP)
■ United States Agency for International Development (USAID)
Start with defunding and shutting down the FBI, which is now as rogue as they come .
