This is a position I can fully support Rand 100% on. Now, if he would just try and abolish the other 5,230 Government departments.

With statists, you need to stare them down and keep rabbit punching them in the kidneys philosophically speaking. The department of education for all it's supposed importance was only created in 1979. Technically the glory years of this country occurred without a federal department of education. So when they try to play the venerable, invaluable institution game, you bring this up as well as the precarious downward trend in national scholastic rankings.

Another government failure Reagan should of abolished, but perhaps lacked the stomach or principal. GO RAND. I want ALOT more of this talk.

the Department of Education has done nothing but make education worse. It is at best a useless bureaucracy and at worst a harmful meddling agency that sucks down resources and makes our people less educated.

I asked Reagan: "What ever happened to the gold standard? I thought you supported it."

"Well," the president began and then paused (a ploy he frequently used to collect his thoughts), "I still do support the gold standard, but--"At that point, Reagan was interrupted by his chief of staff. "Now, Mr. President," said Don Regan, "we don't want to get bogged down talking about the gold standard."

"You see?" the president said to me, with palms uplifted in mock futility. "They just won't let me have my way."
