Re: OK, I'm taking bets.....

1996 Republican Platform
That is why we will abolish the Department of Education, end federal
meddling in our schools ...

1992 Republican Platform
We will also abolish the Interstate Commerce Commission, ...


Of course there is THIS campaign promise which would certainly serve
to ABOLISH much of the Government:

2004 Republican Platform
We believe that good government is based on a system of limited taxes
and spending. Furthermore, we believe that the federal government
should be limited and restricted to the functions mandated by the
United States Constitution. The taxation system should not be used to
redistribute wealth or fund ever-increasing entitlements and social
programs.

Thats ONE (and I agree - Dept Ed was and is redundant). No Reagan and
neither Bush.

The ICC was never a cabinet position and was abolished in 1995. Guess
who the president was? It was HIS idea. Phase 2, Government
Reinvention (see 1995 SOTU). Clinton shut down more government
agencies than any president in history. Bully for him.

You were saying?
