3 Departments...

[smitty]

We should cut the EPA in half.  We should eliminate the departments of Education and Energy.  Thoughts?

Prepare to be told that you want to let rivers burn and children to not be educated.  From my viewpoint, just about anything we can do to reduce the size and intrusion of government would benefit everyone.

I agree...that would be a good start anyway.

This is what Rick Perry was proposing when he developed amnesia in the middle of a debate. While I am no fan of Rick Perry, I agree with him here. As SteveNash said, any reduction in government will be welcomed.

Everybody  ( well, nearly everybody) knows very well that the government is TERRIBLY incompetent at managing most anything except essential services.  Why on earth do they want them managing things that they can't manage?  The party in power does not matter.  There is no accountability in government and there never will be. Isn't it interesting that Rick Perry's blunder was regarded as a major, humongous faux pas but talking about campaigning in 57 states was just an insignificant mistake that the media did not display 5000 times?
