In the New York Times story today that details information on the Stuxnet computer worm that ended up destroying 984 Iranian unranium centrifuges, an interesting “item” pops out.

Not immediately, not in the New York Times. But about half way through the story we find out that President Bush got the Stuxnet started in 2008 with Israel. He even managed to get the cooperation of Germany, Britain and the Saudis. Not bad for someone the world supposedly hated.

Then, near the end of the piece, we find out that we got a lot of material from Libya after it gave up its nuclear program in late 2003. Who was president then? And, a shipment of their machines was sent to our own Oak Ridge laboratory for study.

In 2004 the CIA convened a group of nuclear experts who reccommended a secret test place be devised to work on the project. Evidently, that is what Isreal finally and successfully did.

In 2006, you’ll recall, the New York Times brazenly published the National Security Estimate. It manipulated information from secret sources that undermined GWB’s Iran policy by denying their capabilities.

Fortunately for the world we have gained some time to stop Iran further, thanks to President Bush’s efforts.

Only if the debt had been paid off when Obama took office.

There you go again with those unhelpful stereotypes.

The budget for the DOE increased 69.6% from 2002 to 2004 when Republicans ruled the House, Senate and Bush was president.

So then you wouldn't object to the DOE being eliminated now, would you?

I don't know, I'd have to do some research and think about it.

What specific benefits do you see from eliminating the department? Do you see any negatives? Is this something you've thought about or a talking point?

We would see an immediate $28.4 billion savings.

We could cut $250 billion (less than half) from the DOD budget and still spend more than any other country does on their military.

Is this something you've thought about

Tax savings and increased local control of school districts.

I see nothing but positives for eliminating another money wasting bureaucracy.

Yes. I find the DOE to be totally useless.

The DOE has been around in one form or another for 130 years - was local control of schools an issue way back then?

Maybe it would be a good idea to find out all they do before making that judgment.

Totally irrelevant. It had neither the clout, control or financing for most of those years. So what is your point?

I see the results of "what they do" on a daily basis! List 5 things you believe the DOE does that are both necessary, useful and can't be done by state associations and local school districts.

Most of what you see on a daily basis is the result of state and local control of education. Before George W. and his "No Child Left Behind Act", the department had very little to do with what went on in schools at the local level beyond enforcing civil rights and privacy laws.

It is also interesting to note that although eliminating the department has been a GOP talking point since 1980, nothing was done to that end during the 6 years of Republican rule in Washington; in fact, Republicans expanded the ED's reach into local schools. (Perhaps it is useful to have a federal whipping-boy to pin local failures on?)
