When asked if the $28.4 trillion federal debt was too much, Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.) said, “Yes, it’s way too much.” He added that one way to reduce spending would be to eliminate the Department of Education.
At the U.S. Capitol on Aug. 10, CNS News asked the senator, “The debt of the federal government is now $28.4 trillion. Is that too much?”
Sen. Johnson said, “Yes, it’s way too much. And it’s going to get a lot bigger with what Democrats are going to be doing here and this budget.”

While dumping the Dept. of Ed would save us some money it's just a drop in the bucket compared to the pork wasted on tons of other things. It WOULD however put a crimp in the commie lefts indoctrination plans for youngsters....so it's NEVER going to happen.

DeleteWhich is of primary importance.
The Department of Education has been a boondoggle from day 1. It has done nothing but hurt education.
ReplyDeleteIndeed.
DeleteHe's part of the problem. Congress critters now pass omnibus spending instead of having the agencies come forward and explain/justify their continued existence and why they need funding.

DeletePrecisely.
Not that this makes any difference, and would be laughed at in polite society, but the existence of the Department of Education violates the Tenth Amendment.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteFunny how we managed just fine without the DOE before 1979. I suspect we'll be better off without it again.
ReplyDeleteThat would be great!
