Helen Dyer forwarded a question from John Droz, jr, a physicist involved with the Trump transition team. Droz is looking for suggestions of candidates to fill the top slots at the Departments of Energy, Education, and the EPA.

My picks for the three e's? Sarah Palin or, if you want a scientist, S.Fred Singer for Department of Energy, Marc Morano for EPA, and I am not sure who for Dep. Ed; Dave Brat wuold be a good choice, but I don't want to lose him in Congress. Be that as it may, Trump should pick someone who would return authority over education to the states and local districts. Jimmy Carter created the Department of Education and, frankly, I think it should be eliminated entirely.

Any thoughts? We have an historic opportunity to change these institutions from instruments of oppression to harmless or even beneficial agencies. They have been gathering power for a long time, under Bush 41, Clinton, Bush 43, and Obama, and if we can devolve power back to the states now we can break the cycle, putting these agencies back where they belong. It took decades to usurp this power.
