Key Aspects
- Project 2025 encourages the president to ensure that “any research conducted with taxpayer dollars serves the national interest in a concrete way in line with conservative principles” / Cut Out Green Projects
- Project 2025 proposes reclassifying tens of thousands of federal civil service workers as political appointees in order to replace them with Trump loyalists. (AKA Schedule F)
- As of 2024, only about 4,000 government positions are deemed political appointments. That could change with each administration.[5][67] Schedule F would affect tens of thousands of professional federal civil servants,[5] who have spent many years working under both Democratic and Republican administrations.
- Abolish the Economic Development Administration (EDA) at the Department of Commerce
- A federal fund worth $18 billion for low-income students (Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965) would be allowed to expire and those responsibilities would devolve to the states.
- The Project envisions eventually moving from an income tax to a consumption tax, such as a national sales tax.
- Project 2025 advises a future Republican president to go further than merely nullifying Biden’s executive orders on climate change to “eradicate climate change references from absolutely everywhere”
- It proposes abandoning strategies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions responsible for climate change, including by repealing regulations that curb emissions, downsizing the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and abolishing the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
- In particular, the EPA’s Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights[162] would be closed,[119][163] and the EPA’s staff, including the science advisor, would be selected based on managerial skills rather than scientific qualifications.[119] States would be prevented from adopting stricter regulations on vehicular emissions
- The blueprint declares that the federal government has an “obligation to develop vast oil and gas and coal resources” and supports Arctic drilling.
- Project 2025 would reverse a 2009 EPA finding that carbon dioxide emissions are harmful to human health, preventing the federal government from regulating greenhouse gas emissions.
