[Tax-chick]

Are the states saying they don't have to take care of their own because the feds are doing it?

Probably. It happens with lots of what should be local or state expenses.

[Cicero]

I would be all in favor of cutting fed grants to the states. But it should be accompanied by tax cuts, so there is more money for the states to pay for it themselves. Of course that ain’t gonna happen.

The best place to start would be to abolish the Department of Education. But that CERTAINLY is not going to happen.
