SPOT ON!!!!

The &*&^$#%^ Department of Education pisses away 70 BILLION a year on what? Harvesting money from the states, laundering it through its bureaucracy, pulling out around 40 cents of each buck for its services then sending the rest back to the states with directives requiring idiotic subjects having little or nothing to do with the 3Rs but spreading the humanist/progressive bravo sierra that has put us far behind places — like China, India, etc. — where they actually teach their kids real skills. Unless I’m misinformed, national test scores have fallen sharply SINCE the creation of the DOE. Talk about bang for the buck!

Reagan went to Washington to KILL an agency that should never have been born in the first place. He was beaten by the NEA/”progressive” morons. Let’s honor his effort BY KILLING IT NOW!!
