Project 2025. Breaking it down, part 3.

Slogged through the agricultural portion.

Big takeaways 1) they went to eliminate sugar subsidies (I agree with that), 2) they're unhappy with the current school lunch program (agree with that too), they want to do away with the CRP program, which I strongly disagree with.

Project 2025. Breaking it down, part 2. Big on defense, not on public broadcasting.

Okay, I admit, I'm not going to read all 1,000 pages.

Scanning (and I do mean scanning) the first part of it, I see that they're big on defense, down on Mexico, and want to rebuild the U.S. nuclear capacity.

I question the need to rebuild nuclear capacity, but this is all fairly standard Conservative fair.  I guess the major difference would be the "we mean it" tone.

They also don't like public broadcasting.  Okay, no surprise there.

Lex Anteinternet: Project 2025. Breaking it down, part 1.

Because it's so freaking big, as any goal so big would have to be, we're going to break  Project 2025. down a bit.

And yes, that has to be inherently unfair, at least to some degree.

Let's start with this. What to they conceive to be their goals?  Well, they claim:

So, overall, I suppose it must be judged against this, although not just against this.  Other things, including the common good, must come into consideration as well.

This is particularly the case for the second goal, dismantling "the administrative state".  We've had an agency heavy state since the 1930s.  Conservatives conceive of this as an abuse, and have long struggled to eliminate or curtail it.  But is that realistic in a country of over 300,000,000 people.

And, while many people support this in the abstract, how many really support it in reality?

Probably better review it before the primaries.
