yeah, social media and podcasts are SO SO much better, with all of their in-depth fact-checking and distribution of clearly expert opinions.
Most of what makes MAGA hate the Dept of Education is rooted in lies about what they do
- Thread starter outside shooter
- Start date
Bessent goal is 3% deficit before they're out of office. It's currently around 7% of GDP. If they get it close, they did a good job. If it stays the same or goes up, they failed and will get hammered in 28 at the polls.

I wouldn’t presume they’re not. Legacy media has cooked the booksyeah, social media and podcasts are SO SO much better, with all of their in-depth fact-checking and distribution of clearly expert opinions.
The crux of this is represented throughout graduate programs
We Get What We Pay For: The Cycle of Military Spending, Industry Power, and Economic Dependence | Costs of War
The Costs of War Project is a team of 35 scholars, legal experts, human rights practitioners, and physicians, which began its work in 2011. We use research and a public website to facilitate debate about the costs of the post-9/11 wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.watson.brown.edu
That's a bullshit piece. It's only talking about discretionary spending. Ignoring we spend 14.5% of GDP today on the mandatory side. Which is all health care, food stamps, disability and old age benefits.
That's back to my root point. You are totally ignoring where all the spending is going by focusing all attention on an ever decreasing share of the pie
Of course they are better. It's why they're growing and traditional media outlets are shrinking, Free markets, out perform monopolies.yeah, social media and podcasts are SO SO much better, with all of their in-depth fact-checking and distribution of clearly expert opinions.

The assumption holds tho. We’re operating from an assumption that all of that dod money is a worthwhile return. Instead of so many other things
We’re 35 trillion in debt. Where are you making that up?
No. I'm saying it shouldn't exist. It doesn't have anything to do with educating kids since thats all state and local according to many on here, so kill it.
The assumption doesn't hold. At all. We're spending less and less of every tax dollar on defense every single year.
I've talked many times about how you make it up. Nobody cares or they stick their head in the sand.
Most of that could be moved to other entities. Amend etc. Eeoc could do much of the title shit
So who would you transfer what the DoEd actually does too?No. I'm saying it shouldn't exist. It doesn't have anything to do with educating kids since thats all state and local according to many on here, so kill it.
Amend whatever. More to states. Anyone can disburse $. Maybe Eeoc for some title shit.
If education in this country is going downhill, what is the Dept of Education good for?
US education has fallen since the Dept of Education was created.
See a trend there?
Making sure disabled children get a fair education for one. In that mission they have been undoubtedly great.
Only if you make up a correlation that's completely fabricated, yes. Again, the states set curriculum and standards. Always have.
That needs to be setup and clarified prior to shutting anything down. It would be really sad to see states stopping IEP programs because of the chaos that's happening right now.
Yeah everything should have notice. This is an idiotic way to do things
The states need to step up and create better programs. The EDs mission is to support the states. Which they do but they don't tell them what to do. OTHER than, states cannot deny an education to kids with disabilities or for race, sex, or religious reasons. The ED polices that. Someone needs to.What have they done to keep us from falling further then?

No we don't. We have the highest higher education(college) cost on earth. But even with that factored we are barely top 5. When you take out college we are 6th in elementary cost per student and 9th in high school cost per student. Still high up there but not #1.
What wasn't tried?
The Fed Govt spends 2x what the DOD costs on healthcare alone. Not even counting VA healthcare costs.
The dod budget is nearly a trillion dollars. Reimagining how we do things. As @crazed_hoosier2 wrote an across the board cut on absolutely everything.
Well I disagree with crazed on that. And so do House Republicans as their new reconciliation bill budget has a plus up for defense.
Asking each state to decide whether or not to enforce federal laws such as Title IX, Title VI, Title I, disability compliance, special ed., etc. seems misguided and even bizarre. First, they are not going to raise the money at the state level to do all that. The cutbacks at the Federal level don't shift any funds to the state level. Second, do you really want to force families to have to shop for a state or community where their child with a developmental disability will be allowed in public school?
Iron domes don't come cheap
Space Development Agency launches study on Trump’s Iron Dome order
In a notice Wednesday, the agency said it is conducting a study that looks at how its architecture could be expanded as part of the Iron Dome order.

Let the states do most of it. Turn the funding into Block Grants. Put enforcement into an actual enforcement agency.
There's very little that they do that can't be decentralized, and it should be.
You seem to be careening around bumping into whattabouts and yabbuts.
The IEP process is a joke and needs to be overhauled, but that's another thread. When we did our last one it was like a giant weight was lifted.
Federal law supersedes state law every single time... Any state choosing not to follow Federal law will end up losing on multiple fronts...
Whenever Democrats are on the wrong side of an argument they always immediately utilize two things: phony scare tactics and smear campaigns...
Just like clockwork...
That’s the crux of the issue. We’re not, “making that up,” as you say.
And, what’s more, we’re never going to make it up. No one has the will nor the way to do what everybody knows needs to be done.
All we get is talk, talk, talk, talk, talk. No balls.
Social Security, Medicare, interest on the debt. - There be demons here.
Of course states would be breaking Federal law. But there would be no Federal level oversight to make them lose anything, on any front.
States, go police yourself.
Figure it out.
Pay for it yourself, too.
If you have any questions, don't call us, since we are closed.
If Insurrection Barbie says it, you can for sure bet your bottom dollar that they've done their due diligence to make sure it's all on the up and up.
Duhhhh.
The Barbie patrol wants to first talk to the Founding Fathers in person, to make sure that everything is getting done right.
