Senator Mike Rounds (R-SD) introduced a bill to ABOLISH the Department of Education
[X] An efficient way to rile up the Democrats โ€” and distract their attention from other things.

Just, leave it up to the states, and mandate they must meet minimum educational standards. Of course, that means California, Oregon and Washington states students are screwed.

NOTE: Eliminating Dept of Education would only save a mere $90B out of the US budget

Total US revenue: $4.919 trillion (actual) 17.1% of GDP
Total US Fed expenditures: $6.752 trillion (actual) 23.4% of GDP
2024 Deficit alone: $1.833 trillion (actual), 6.4% of GDP

BTW: The O'Biden Reigem felt Ukraine was 10x's ($200B) more important, than the need to insure US future citizens and illegals were properly educated.

ALSO, NOTE: If you take the time to look at the Link provided regarding the Federal Budget. You'll notice a majority of the Federal Dept. requested 10+% more funds in 2024 than the previous year.

Yet US SSA citizens got a 2.5% +/-COLA?????
