Gotta love the comment that was left. There was no DOE before, and we don't need one now.


I agree with quite a bit of Ron Pauls views but from a base ideological standpoint he is dead wrong, but at least I think there could be actual real debate with conservatives such as him that may get things done.
I still would not vote for him becasue of the whacked out ideas he has though on tearing down the system.
Kill of the dept of education. Good luck RP, you nutter.

I wish more people would look at the history, and juxtapose the rise in our nation's emergencies and crises, against the expansion of the Federal Government (by looking at the departments and agencies created on the Executive Branch).

Then, look at the timeframe all of this occurred. In the first 85 years, the Federal Government stayed generally the same size. Post-Civil War, WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Cold War, Gulf War I, Bosnia, 9/11, OIF - the expansion explodes.

The worst part is that that much of the last 15 years of so-called emergency has been a result of fearmongering on the part of Uncle Sam.

I glanced at Obama once, and he said that he believes that the role the Federal Government is supposed to play was settled in the '60's.

So i'm assuming you won't glance at him again ? :p

No one realizes that the department of Education was established in 1980.

Ever since then our students have been losing ground to foreign nations in test scores (which I think is a load of bull, but it still stands for something).
