The US Department of Education has more than 6,000 employees and spends more than $70 billion a year. Nobody would even notice in their day to day lives if it was completely eliminated. It is one of the most useless agencies out there.
Completely Eliminate this one.
There are something like 70 different federal entitlement programs, I bet we could merge about 60 of them into a single agency and lay-off the excess, duplicate workforce. Make welfare a single monthly cash benefit, same benefit nationally (states can throw in something if they want) and we could probably save $25 or so billion dollars a year without even cutting the actual benefits. Overhead eats up a third of the budget anyone so we cut that overhead down to the bone.
Absolutely disgusting.
It is one of the most useless agencies out there.
As is the remaining unconstitutional alphabet agencies with their unions and their pension plans.
This subject really chaps my hide.
Goes for the States too.
