They are benefiting, yes. Taxes aren’t theft.
When our federal government taxes the paychecks of hardworking American citizens and spends that money for objects not authorized by the terms of our Constitution, it certainly is theft.
Interesting article.
Not sure I see the bottom line benefit in having a different bureaucracy do what this bureaucracy does.
No it’s not.
It’s taxes.
Yes it is, and it’s a form of embezzlement.
No, that’s just idiotic.
Taxes are taxes.
We are talking about the misappropriation of federal revenue.

Yup! Trump is using that hatchet to end the opportunity for bureaucrats, at the federal Department of Education, from using taxpayer money as their slush fund to finance everything other than teaching the 3 Rs.

The Congress shall have power "[t]o promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts "by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries."
That’s the whole point. Most of what the DOE does will be eliminated.

That’s not what Guv was suggesting.
Look at the context of Guv’s comments. I didn’t pick up on anything that would indicate he is looking to keep everything but simply transfer to a different department.
Right, And I am questioning the value of expanding other parts of the beuaracracy to handle the parts you are keeping.
Why not just keep the DoE and cut out the parts you don’t want?
Because “power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely”. Closing down the “federal” Department of Education" breaks up the concentrated federal power and control over an object rightfully reserved by the various states under the Tenth Amendment.
Or, doing stuff that fedgov should never have started doing in the first place. (I’m thinking of student loans as an example.) If they close DOE outright, I doubt they can just stop the student loan program cold turkey, so I want to see it managed by some other agency until it can be offloaded to the private sector. And I don’t see this as an expansion of the subsequent existing agency that manages it temporarily. By and large the FAFSA/loan process is automated. And the next agency isn’t adopting it. They are fostering it.
Why would you need an entire department for simple funding that can be administered within an existing department?
