TUESDAY NIGHT MASSACRE AT DEPT. OF EDUCATION

By Bob Walsh

 

USED


On Tuesday the Dept. of Education laid off 50% of it's work force.  It would seem that Donald Trump, and his new Secretary of Education Linda McMahon, are not dicking around.  I am not sure that that Department is the biggest money pit in the federal government when considering money spent and benefit gained, but it certainly is up for at least an honorable mention. 

Trump wants it shut down.  He may get his wish.  I had thought that it was created by an act of congress but I understand it was in fact created by presidential directive.  Presumably then Trump can kill it if he wants to.

It might not be fully dead by this time next week, but it will be severely wounded, which is fine with me.
