What are your thoughts on the Department of Educaiton? Do you think the power should be returned to the states? Some of the stats are pretty dismal to say the least. $17K a student and we've only sunk globally since the Department's founding. At the very least, an evaluation and revamp is sorely needed.

Hardcore evaluation and revamp is my bare minimum for it and HUD, with outright elimination not being off the table.

I would go so far as to say every agency should have to be reauthorized by Congress every 5-10 years, with regular financial and performance audits in the interim years between reauthorization votes.

Yeah let's return it to the states so the shíthole red states can fall even further down the academic rankings.

You morons realize it will catch up eventually right?

Also, it's absolutely RICH for the right to talk state rights and then say things like, we will withhold funds to California unless they make laws we want.
