Section 3 of the Heritage Foundation's "Project 2025" document focuses on policy recommendations for several key federal departments and agencies. It outlines a conservative vision for reshaping government functions related to health, justice, education, energy, agriculture, housing, labor, and transportation.Department of Health and Human Services (HHS): Discusses Medicare, Medicaid, CDC, and NIH, criticizing pandemic responses and proposing changes to health policies. Department of Justice (DOJ): Suggests reforms to refocus the department and FBI on core functions. Department of Education: Proposes reducing federal involvement in education, potentially closing the department. Department of Energy: Recommends reversing climate-focused policies and supporting fossil fuels. Departments of Agriculture and Environmental Protection Agency: Calls for reducing regulatory scope. Department of Housing and Urban Development: Suggests refocusing on core duties and changing policies on federally assisted housing. Department of Labor: Proposes changes to labor policies. Department of Transportation: Criticizes fuel economy standards and electric vehicle initiatives. Department of Veterans Affairs: Emphasizes accountability to veterans' needs.
Overall, this section advocates for reducing the size and scope of these federal agencies, promoting conservative social values, and reversing many policies implemented by recent Democratic administrations.
