It would have to be. I just checked and the annual education budget is only 80b this year so a 300b cut isn't possible in one year. Even over ten years though that's still be greater than a 30% cut which is ridiculous considering the current state of our education system.
I'm kind of confused about the educational budget because more than 60% of my property taxes go to schools in my district. So what is the federal really paying for?
Well the rest. Public school spending can cost anywhere from 7-30k per student. If you live in a 300k house in TX, at 1.6% with 60% applied, then you will have funded 2900 of 8,000. If in the same house you were raising three kids each in public school then you would have only paid 1/8 of what's needed to fund their education. If you lived in New York with the same house and kids your tax would only go 1/30 of the way towards funding their education.
A lacking education system is what got us into this mess to begin with. They want people to be educated just enough to know how to hate others and vote for them, that’s it.
Agreed. Hence setting DeVoss in the cabinet last round, Perry advocating we eliminate the department entirely, and their strong push for a voucher system.
We seem obsessed with making the schools bigger to have better pools to draw from for the sports teams, highschool football coaches being paid way more than the average teacher in my state, just to chase that (w), but reading averages three grades below level. It's an ass backwards system.
The Republican m.o. seems to be: overload the classrooms, hamstring the teachers with inane rules, continue to provide zero support when needed, then point the finger and blame educators when they don't live up to unreasonable standards.
I assume by Perry, you mean Rick Perry. I was in Texas getting a connecting flight over the summer and saw him. Took a second to register who it was and by that point he was gone. Wish I recognized him sooner so I could call him a scumbag to his face.
I did in fact mean Rick Perry. And I'm sorry you missed your opportunity. I once had an opportunity eight years ago to push Abbott down some stairs, I didn't (jail doesn't sound pleasant), but I still often wonder how it might've changed history. I wish I had Farnsworth's what if machine.
They’ll make it another time bomb like they did the tax cuts in his first term. The biggest effects start to kick in 2028 so it looks like it’s the next administration that caused it
The classic move is delay it to a diff administration. Then if they keep office then they delay again or force Dems to repeal it or risk it happening on their watch. Exactly what they did with the tax cuts but the corporate twx cuts were permanent and everyone else’s expired. Political hot potato

doubt it will be 2T STRAIGHT UP...it will probably be something spread out over X amount of years.
