I'm with @kepford on this one. Kill the Department of Ed, as soon as possible.
However, this is a bit like lifestyle changes: the best one to go after is the one they can eliminate.
Yeah, but why are they doing everything, but this?
reply
I don't know how they set their priorities. Perhaps they have a ranking of what will have the most bang for the buck or will be most politically feasible.
They may also be waiting until the secretaries get confirmed before really digging into the Departments. Agencies that are specifically created or mandated by legislation will be trickier to go after.

Also, start with the trunk, it's better when it's warm.

I'm all for shaking the tree and seeing what you can get to fall out too. Anything that you can get rid of is an absolute win.

I would never have thought to start with USAID, so we also have to allow for them operating on more information than we have. The bodies may not be buried in the most obvious places.
reply
I definitely wouldn't have thought to even look at the USAID personally, so yea, I trust that they know more than I do.
reply
I certainly would have thought to cut it, but digging through and disclosing all their records wasn't really on my radar.
reply
I'd think of cutting it so far as I want to cut literally everything, but other than that, it wasn't on radar at all.
