We know it can’t be done without shifting ED departments to other departments.
Sell what we have to Banks??
So this is how the Executive Branch of the federal government is operating now? ... requesting permission from the Judicial Branch before conducting the business of the Executive Branch? A Republic-threatening precedent indeed ....
How many battalions does the Supreme Court have?
That lie makes my blood boil. How many people paid their own way through college? My dad washed dishes for four years in a sorority (tough work, right?). I did architectural drafting during school and during summers. How many people extended their education to five or six years to keep annual expenses down and affordable.
The damn Reuters thinks the only way for people to go to school is to get a federal loan.
And what about the millions of them who had no problem defaulting on their loans? They are deadbeats, but Reuters pretends they are all current on their loans.
Build new headquarters in many large parks with tents, etc.
I think I recall a congressional exchange from a few years ago — Some big Banker was testifying in front of the Senate and a Democrat went ballistic about the predatory college loans that banks were giving out. The Banker was stunned, but the Democrat Senator really let him have it.
Eventually, the Banker was able to explain that Congress had blocked bank loans for college some years ago. All college loans came from the federal government. If the loans were predatory, it was the government’s fault — the banking industry had nothing to do with it.
The Democrat moved on to a new topic.
So did the federal judges and the Supreme Court rule to establish the department? “The department was created by a U.S. law passed by Congress in 1979.”
As, did the federal judges and the Supreme Court vet and take the individual cases of each illegal border crosser coming into the US for the past decade? Including barring them all under existing border laws?
NOW they suddenly get out of breath from their avid interest in the “due process” and “rights” of the scumbags.
CRUSH THESE PEOPLE! NOW!!!
Asks?
"So this is how the Executive Branch of the federal government is operating now? ... requesting permission from the Judicial Branch before conducting the business of the Executive Branch? A Republic-threatening precedent indeed ...."
Trump is being diplomatic with the Supreme Court on this issue because he will undoubtedly be working with the Court on this and other issues for the rest of his term.
But there is only one constitutional outcome on this DE issue imo.
More specifically, and militia training aside, not only does the word education not appear in the Constitution, but President Thomas Jefferson, in a State of the Union address, also Justice Joseph Story, had both indicated that the states would need to appropriately amend the Constitution in order for Congress to be able to dictate, regulate, frustrate, tax and spend in the name of INTRAstate education — something that the states have never done!
"The great mass of the articles on which impost is paid is foreign luxuries, purchased by those only who are rich enough to afford themselves the use of them. Their patriotism would certainly prefer its continuance and application to the great purposes of the public education, roads, rivers, canals, and such other objects of public improvement as it may be thought proper to add to the constitutional enumeration of federal powers [emphasis added].” —Thomas Jefferson: 6th Annual Message, 1806." (Jefferson is indicating that Congress cannot tax and spend in the name of intrastate infrastructure imo.)
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"The power to regulate manufactures is no more confided to congress, than the power to interfere with the systems of education [all emphases added], the poor laws, or the road laws of the states." —Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2, 1833.
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
While PDJT47 is at least being diplomatic with the Supreme Court, if any federal agency cannot be reasonably constitutionally justified then it needs to be closed imo.
WAIT UNTIL A JUDGE SOMEWHERE FINDS OUT THAT TRUMP IS CLOSING DOWN A BUGGY WHIP COMPANY & A BUSTLE ENTERPRISE
Ay, por favor-esta mierda otra vez? “tens of millions of Americans who cannot afford to pay for college outright.” That is definitely bulls***, and those loans are an excuse for colleges to raise tuition...
Coming from a rural, working-class family, I paid for my own college education-as a single mom of 18 with a baby, living on my own. I worked as a cocktail waitress at a couple of the really nice clubs in the tourist district in the city where the tips were great, took a semester off to work double shifts a few times when money was short, etc-so it did take almost 6 years. But I did it, and I have no regrets at all-I learned to be a responsible adult, and that is the best thing that happened. I also met my 1st husband while in college-we were together for over 20 years...
Those who use someone else’s money for college instead of working to pay are missing the part of a real education that makes you an adult who is responsible for themselves-taxpayers should not have to pay for their whining, excuses, or their non-payment of fed loans-if you won’t pay for your education with money you get/make without the fed, then you just don’t into college-get rid of the whole fed program...
Good for you! The old American can-do attitude. You are absolutely right that doesn’t exist when you borrow the money and then welch on paying it back.
My dad also worked summers in a hard-rock copper mine in the Cascade Mountains. He was suspended in a basket running an air drill for holes for dynamite. Talk about a hot, noisy and dangerous job!
Also, when you use borrowed money, many don’t take their education seriously and get useless degrees that will never result in a decent career.
