Department of Education would be my big cut, given the chance.

Many others could be trimmed, at a minimum.
Why?

We wont have that problem after this Nov

It will be a Republican everything

thanks Joe
Republicans lost 41 seats (and their majority) under Trump in 2018.  Stayed the minority during Trump's loss in 2020, stayed the minority in 2022.  All he does is support clowns and lose.  For someone promoting himself as such a big winner, all the Rs have done is lose since he hijacked the party.

But don't let reality influence your thinking.

Why?
Redundant and not needed.

We were far better at Education before that department was created.
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

What does the Department of Education actually DO to aid education?

I asked our HS principal this, and he hemmed and hawed a bit, and finally said "We get some money from them, but frankly, I'm not sure the reporting requirements make it worthwhile."

I'd trim the DoEd down to a few folks with some funding and computers to send money to districts that don't have enough tax base to be viable.

The Boeing F-15EX Eagle II is an American all-weather multirole strike fighter derived from the McDonnell Douglas F-15E Strike Eagle.[4] The aircraft resulted from the U.S. Department of Defense' Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation (OSD CAPE) study in 2018 to recapitalize the aging F-15C/D fleet due to inadequate numbers of F-22s, delays in the F-35 program, and maintaining diversity in the U.S. fighter industrial base through Boeing's
Boeing's St. Louis division (former McDonnell Douglas). The F-15EX is expected to replace the F-15C/D in performing homeland and air defense missions and also serve as an affordable platform for employing large stand-off weapons to augment the frontline F-22 and F-35.[5] The first aircraft was delivered in 2021 and operational service is expected in July 2024.[6]

The F-15EX is a member of the F-15 Advanced Eagle family of aircraft, a further development of the F-15E design that began with the F-15SA (Saudi Advanced) which first flew in 2013 and continued with the F-15QA (Qatari Advanced) which first flew in 2020.[7] The Advanced Eagle in the F-15EX configuration represents the current baseline in F-15 production.[7][8]

If that's the case, then expect spending to go through the roof.

Nothing a Republican Congress likes more than spending money their party's President can take credit for.



well at least it wont be on Ukraine and green crap

F-15 was one bad ass plane.  I was always sad as a kid they never made a movie that seriously featured the F-15.  

Top Gun was F-14's

Iron Eagle was F-16's.  Side Note: When I re-watched IE as an adult, I realized how cheesy and half baked it was.

Are you talking about the House?  Or Congress overall?  It doesn't seem appropriate to discuss both combined when discussing control of either.

Either way, Republicans have more "seats" in Congress, and of course in the House, today.

Do you just make up stuff and figure nobody will check your "facts"?

The F-15s I've seen at air shows is indeed, well, majestic, and loud.

9 seats changed hands in '22, I looked at the wrong thing.  
Thanks for assuming I make stuff up, though.  You're a peach.
