Perhaps the risk of being called heartless is making them headless. John Stossel of Reason Magazine claims U. S. Department of Education (DOE) Secretary Betsy DeVos is keeping hers.
"It now spends $193.1 billion a year," he writes. "DeVos proposed a mere $9 billion in cuts." (Only in Washington is $9 billion "mere.")
"But nothing goes away in Washington, no matter how wasteful," Stossel points out. "The Republican Congress ignored her proposed cuts and increased her budget by $2 billion."
Stossel is absolutely right. Ive read 30 years worth of hearings, Governmental Accountability Office (GAO) reports and even inspector general reports from the agency itself that show that just about every program it runs is an expensive failure.
They bankrolled NPR and PBS too.
Makes me wonder why I ever voted for them.
There is nothing “questionable” about the U.S. Department of Education.
For instance, there is no question that it has been a giant CF since day one.
Ditto.. over a year later.. no wall, trillions in chuck n nancy deals anti 2A laws. I hope everyone wonders why every liberal program was founded.
They bankrolled NPR and PBS too. Makes me wonder why I ever voted for them.
No chit, but theres no viable alternative, yet, to D or R (two sides of the same coin). I do hope we change that in our lifetime. Would love a true Constitutional Conservative Party.
You forgot the National Endowment for the Arts which would be more correctly the National Endowment for Profanity.
We continuance an Eduction Department we have a communist Indoctrination Department. Khrushchev plan is in full effect.
