Oh by the way the DOE budget is maybe 3% of the total budget max. So whooo you're saving a ton of money there. Oh and a sizeable chunk of that is just for No Child Left Behind which was passed by a GOP controlled congress and signed into law by BUSH. More money is spend on the Medicare Presciption Drug program. Another idea of BUSH's passed by a GOP controlled congress. Of course then ther's the Patriot Act and the Dept of Homeland Security once again passed by GOP congress and signed into law by Bush. And the GOP is for LESS government?
Oh by the way when you get rid of the DOE then the states have less money for education you can expect your local and state taxes to be INCREASED.
So yes let's focus on something that is less than 3% of the budget. No one talks about cutting military spending which is equal to 1/3 the amount of all revenues we have coming in. Why do we have bases in Japan and Germany 66 years after we defeated them? Are they still a threat?
