when people speak of three letter agencies usually what's meant is fbi, cia, nsa, etc. though I'd be happy to ditch the cdc and reform the fda. doj can probably go I think. irs as well. fcc is fine but needs reforms. epa is chill.

This comment is giving me major Rick Perry vibes from when he wanted to abolish the DOE until he was appointed head of it and realized what they do.

Make college more expensive?

Yes, the Department of Energy drives the cost of college. Welcome to the Fediverse, Rick!

DOE = Department of Education.

DOE can refer to the Department of Education. The comment and segment you quoted used the acronym in relation to an entity Rick Perry oversaw. That entity was the Department of Energy.
