Florida governor vows to ‘push back against woke ideology … we see creeping into all institutions of American life’
Reaganomics was a horrendous failure for this country, and nearly 50 years later here we are with Republicans pushing those policies again on the American people.
What DeSatan is talking about is a continuation of Reagan's terrible "Starve the Beast" policies.
Starve the Beast is a plan by conservatives to reduce funding for various government departments and programs to a level below which those entities can function properly. Salaries and equipment cost money. Below a certain level, you can't do your job properly. And that's what Republicans have been pushing for a few decades now. Cut funding for programs, and then claim those same programs aren't doing their job properly, and use that as the excuse to kill off those programs altogether.
It is a self fulfilling prophecy all so big business and the ultra rich can pollute more, hide their real wealth from taxes, and make our children dumb enough that future generations willingly vote Republican.
This is the problem with a party whose entire political platform is to prove that government doesn't work. It wants dysfunction.
Good luck with infrastructure when you stop collecting taxes. What a clown.
I love how even his childish simplistic plan was over thought. Why get rid of all of them when the IRS will single handedly kill the country if eliminated. That military budget that gets R's so hard goes bye bye.
And unlike Rick Perry, he remembered all of them...
So his job is to look so bad that trump seems reasonable?
But if it gets support, also yay?
Russia/China are clearly playing the games the UK and the USA have around the world back on them.
Democracy is a nuisance for the fascist RW
OP this article wasn't even relevant 2 months ago. This loser isn't even getting nominated.
desperate and stupid ideas from a desperate and stupid man
Lol. This guy
He would be so assassinated, so quickly. The IRS does not fuck around. Neither does the Department of Education.
Do his idiot supporters really not realize that he can't just do that? I know they desperately want a totalitarian dictator, but come on...
The irony of the background saying Restore Sanity
Well, it’s a start. No money for federal judiciary, federal House, federal Senate, and eventually federal Presidency. And federal law enforcement, and federal military. News from the Florida Man
It's so weird seeing the IRS as one of the more prominent victims of partisan polarization, especially with a ridiculous enough promise even we libertarian-minded folk tend to react along the lines of "whoah that's pretty crazy to jump to, the budget is a system that needs adjusted with care even if - especially if - that's your goal". It's as if he's trying to cater specifically to really dumb business owners.
I fail to see how rah rah DoE/DoC even makes sense as a campaign promise.

I become more and more convinced that DeSantis is to make Trump palatable again.
Ding-a-lings say the darndest things.
Everyone should treat this guy's ideas about how to run a government about as seriously as they would on fashion tips from ronnie - those white go-go boots were sure fashion-forward, LOL.
How will the government get money? I mean no IRS means no taxes.. right? Wut
And unlike Rick Perry, he remembered all of them…
Remember when forgetting an item on a list would get you kicked out of the running for president?
Then if there was any doubt it should now be crystal clear this is the party of burn it all down.
