....Republicans wanted to abolish the Departments of Education,
Commerce and Energy, as well as the EPA and OSHA ? It amazed me when
they were so enthusiastic in creating a new super agency after 9/11. But then
I realized it was just another law enforcement/military/high tech wet dream,
typical of the right wing. A whole new department, big new buildings all
over the Washington, DC area and a bunch of new jobs to fill with ex-military
buzz-cuts with a five point preferential on their civil service scores.
