You'd get education, commerce, homeland security, HUD or Interior, depending on what suits your interests and experience. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HUD is actually quite the fit, as I'm currently going through a career change to enter real estate. Not to mention my pet issue of housing laws dealing with discrimination. Definitely a post I'd enjoy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ThePotatoWalrus 362 Posted October 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Yo, @vcczar, if you were FORCED to put me in a cabinet position, where would you put me? (No resigning or other bamboozles) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(No resigning or other bamboozles) Probably Veterans Affairs. I think you'd actually care about their welfare since the military is generally supported by white nationalists. If forced to pick a spot for @NYrepublican I'd give him transportation since, although conservative, he has knowledge and experience with public transportation, since he lives in NYC. I'll give @Reagan04 Agriculture, as I think he'd most like working with people invested in that sphere of work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, because everyone knows an uneducated or partially-educated or elitist-restricted-educated or religiously-indoctrinated population tends to support conservative regimes (the Medieval Roman Catholic Church stumbled across this brainwave early on).

The Federal Department of Ed has nothing to do with any of that. It hasn't improved anything, as a matter of fact our PISA rankings have been falling in the international ranks since the DOE was founded, despite throwing more tax money at education than almost any other country. It was a knee-jerk reaction that never worked. If anything I'm trying to make education LESS restrictive and LESS elitist by leaving it up to the states. How in the world do you get from "local control" to "partially-educated" or "elitist-restricted," that makes no sense. If you want to talk elitist, how about the Federal government dangling $5 billion of stimulus money in front of the states and saying, "Yeah you can have this if you agree to implement our national Common Core standards against the will of your districts, parents, and teachers, and force your schools to open transgender bathrooms." The only elitists I see here are Progressives who think that if the Federal government doesn't dictate education for the entire country, then the states and communities can't be trusted to know what's best for them. Honestly I don't understand your logic. Please don't insult my intelligence by insinuating that we'll all be uneducated rednecks if we close a department that we did fine without for almost 200 years. By the way the Dept. of Education was founded in 1978, nine years after we put men on the moon. And yet somehow we survived the pre-Jimmy-Carter dark ages when we were foolish enough to think that states and communities could make better decisions for themselves than an all-powerful central government.

European Qoheleth (SANC) 32 Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 I learned much more by myself on the internet than in school. The main thing I learned in school is how stupid people are and how nasty people are to those who are different. Secretary of the Interior would certainly be a position I'd like. I like the countryside and all that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
michaelsdiamonds 0 Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 May I just say, my first focus would be to undo redlining. It's really time that we stop arbitrarily deciding what the "good" and "bad" neighborhoods are by race. I think the economic opportunities would really help some of the issues in this country. Not to mention a federal program preventing LGBT discrimination in housing, as there currently isn't one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I also don't know what your interests are. There are still some open cabinet-level positions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
