Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) this week joined a line of Republican candidates who, over the years, have made far-fetched promises to eliminate entire federal agencies if elected president.
“We would do Education, we would do Commerce, we’d do Energy, and we would do IRS,” DeSantis told Fox News this week, laying out which departments would be on the chopping block.The GOP presidential candidate conceded that Congress might not approve such a plan, in which case he said he would harness the power of the agencies to “push back against woke ideology.”Practically speaking, the move could leave tens of thousands of people without a job.
The Department of Commerce, for example, houses the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the U.S. Census Bureau, among other offices. DeSantis is far from the first Republican to suggest an overhaul of the Cabinet agencies that conservatives most despise. Republican nominee Bob Dole vowed during his 1996 presidential run to abolish the IRS, but he did not get the chance after losing to Bill Clinton.
After rattling off the Departments of Education and Commerce, Perry infamously forgot the third department, and his presidential bid never quite recovered.
