Could Rand Paul, who once advocated eliminating the Education Department, really become the Senate’s top voice on higher education?

Imagine that!
It'll never happen but he's next in line if scandal plagued and inept Burr is passed over...
I know many of us have our disagreements with Rand Paul from time to time, but I wish we had 50 of him in the Senate.
He is principled (even when its not popular), consistent, and he loves freedom.
I would be thrilled to see him in that position.
Well, one way (and perhaps the best way) is to be on the inside, in order to effect change, and change could be the elimination of the education department.
There shouldn’t even be a Federal Department of Education.
K-12 should be local. Universities up to the states.
And as for Federal tuition loans, no more. Ever.
That committee also deals with Health policy which means he would be holding Fauci to account.
Be good if he gets it but the lobbyists are already squealing about it..
+10!
I agree. He is one of my top five senators.
End all Federal student loans. The federal government has become the Simon Legree of debt enslavement
I know its not in Rand Paul’s libertarian DNA to use coercive government tactics, but Trump could have also declared that he will 1) promote a tax on endowments over $1 billion and 2) any university raising tuition over the next 3 years will have all Federal grants and aid suspended
THAT would get the attention of these higher education-industrial hacks.
Rand would promote home schooling as well .. He would do a great job!
Not sure if he will get it... up to McConnell really. Do they want Burr in charge considering his image/profile (he had to step down from one chairmanship already..)
Not when the RATS take the senate.
