the fact is, education probably would work a lot better without the Department of Education.
Truer words about the state of education in this country were ne'er spoken.

Yep, all that land “administered” the US Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management should become state lands and these two inefficient, wasteful organizations should dissapear.

I’ve been advocating that for a while now. Of course, as this would be in line with the constitution, liberals will be rabidly against it.

Hear, hear!
And send the EPA, HUD, and Homeland Security along with it. We had plenty enough liberty-choking, liberal-bureaucrat-job-creation hideouts before they were created.

Excellent! States must balance their budgets. They cannot print money. If they cannot afford a service then move it in the private sector or get rid of it. If services are moved to the states the people will decide on whether they want to pay taxes for them.
The federal government has stepped waaaay over their limit of power!

The Battle of America starts Nov. 3rd.
It has already been joined. The skirmish lines are out and artillery is softening up the enemy lines. November 2nd comes the first assault on the enemy fortress of Washington DC. That's the day we have to blow the breach. Then we to storm the bastion.

I think "redistribution of power" is an apt response to "redistribution of wealth." Glad to see DeMint putting the issue on the table.

I have 3 adult daughters, 8 grand-kids, all of them 4 years old and younger. Everyone of the grand-babies, and future, will be homeschooling kids. We are ready for prison. You betcha, bring it on.

Bingo We Have A Winner!It is TIME to DownSize DC!
Close Entire Departments. (Education, EPA, etc)
Force Congress and Senate to telecommute most of the year from their home district under the thumb of the electorate and away from the lobbyists.
Can you imagine the reduction in cost of the government? And it would change the center-of-gravity of the Federal Government.

I remember back in the Jimmy Carter years, it seems like federal control was the “in thing”. I remember when I was in as late as 3rd grade, we started school after Labor day and then 4th grade, we started at the end of August and then four years later, we started Aug 20 ! This was in 1980 !

I am going to start a list of “TRUE BELIEVERS”, and Demint will be the first one on that list!

I'm starting to like DeMint more and more every day, and I'm beginning to wish that he makes a run for the White House in 2012.
As much as I like Mrs. Palin, DeMint is starting to look like just as good an option and if either runs, they get my vote.
My problem now is, I don't favor either over the other at this point.

I know I do.
To: boycott
DOD, State (completely purged of the marxists and scaled way down), and a handful of others that are essential. The rest should devolve to states, privatized, or done away with.
