President Donald Trump - J.D. Vance Administration

I'm gonna sit back and watch all the MAGA parents with special ed kids (autism and the like) learn that their funding for special services for their kids is going away. Gonna be a lot of "What? The Department of Ed is where that money came from"

I fully expect the opposite. We will see parents send praise because the waste is being cut and, likely, more help in the long run.

Doesn't it only go away if their individual state chooses not to provide funding?

Waste isn't actually going away it's just being transferred around. Like a kid pushing his food around at dinner to make it look like he ate more

That will increasingly (it appear) to be something the States can either handle or not handle.

Basically, the poor states will get poorer as the rich states get richer.

The fed steps in to balance those inequities that at times can be so sever that it borders on being unconstitutional.

Waste has already occurred. The reality is a lot of those resources are in the wind. The important thing is stopping what is unnecessary and what is causing the waste so resources get devoted into actual meaningful things.

They're going to be in the same boat as veterans.

Voting against their interests, and then remorseful that they voted for a person who denigrated them as Federal employees, and then sacrificed them to pay for more tax cuts.

Veterans fired from federal jobs say they feel betrayed, including some who voted for Trump

Veterans who have been abruptly fired from federal jobs say they feel betrayed by the Trump administration's dramatic downsizing of government.

the important thing is to actually cut it all. Trying to categorize as "meaningful" is how we're here in the first place. This admin is not cutting waste is going to reallocate at best. This is a charade

 

[McDad]

I feel badly for those people in "poor" states who are prohibited from moving to a "rich" state to avail themselves of the state services they require.

Is a state that can't provide for it residents actually a viable state?

Localities can also start providing for their residents if they want the population to remain. Local is better

No, the money came from US taxpayers all over the country. After the DOE took their cut they distributed it back out with strings attached, let states fund their own damn programs.

That is not true, you are sending your money to D.C. i.e. the money needs to come back unneeded bureaucracy and elimination of roughly 5,000 employees plus contractors.

Connecticut wealthy - Mississippi poor

Feel free to come up with your own list.
You can rank the states from rich to poor using multiple variables.
Most all will come out remarkably similar.

Voting for a large centralized government is voting against your interests no matter who you are.

Well unless you work for that large centralized government.

There's no waste or fraud at the state level? Will my taxes actually go down? I prefer the choices to be made at the state or local level but do not believe it will save any real sum of money

If Mississippi's money isn't laundered thru DC are they still poor?

Evidently you are.

Luther, you're getting Biden level delusional.

Yes, they are eliminating waste.

Whether you have waste at the State level is your problem at that point.

yep - but much more so

No they are just going to reallocate at a nat level. They aren't going to just cut dept of ed from the budget and return the money. Parlor tricks with the ledger

You don't know that yet. As far as the savings, its a clear savings if/when it happens.

Oh I think we all know it but some won't admit it yet. It's only a savings if the money isn't spent
