DeSantis says he would eliminate four federal agencies if elected president

Florida's Republican governor said he would seek to abolish the departments of Education, Commerce and Energy, as well as the IRS.

"If Congress will work with me on doing that, we'll be able to reduce the size and scope of government," he added. "If Congress won't go that far, I'm going to use those agencies to push back against woke ideology and against the leftism that we see creeping into all institutions of American life."

Wow. Commerce runs the weather satellites and Energy oversee nukes. Good luck with that.

I wonder if you asked him which departments oversee that if he wouldn't be able to answer, akin to Rick Perry forgetting what departments he would get rid of...

Not to mention Commerce regulates international trade and enforces sanctions. Most Federal agencies do far more than most people realize.
