They have been mad about the department of education ever since they were forced to integrate public schools. Like most things in America, it all goes back to hating black people if you go back far enough.

Fascists: Let's destroy the part of the government that educates our people.
Also fascists: We're just smol bean megacorps that are FORCED to hire people from out of the country to find anyone competent! Why aren't native born USians educated?!? Must be because we react to sitcoms wrong.
This country is trying so hard to burn itself down
Fucking Vivek, lol. Another Harvard undergrad, Yale law graduate finance bro complaining about there not being enough engineers in the US.
He's right up there with all the other suit wearing, ivy league chuds and podcast bros that have been telling everyone (guys, specifically) that college is a woke DEI scam and to go to trade school instead while they sit in air conditioned offices.
Kind of funny that the same people who constantly glaze white people want to muscle them out of every single job except back-breaking trades: literally choosing their job for them.
looked up the rep, this guy has tried this twice before
we're really gonna start wearing this emoji out, we should consider stockpiling replacement parts
American politicians having the 8 year old boy brainpan again.
Compared to the rest of the government, the DoEd is tiny. They make up a negligible amount of Federal employees (rounds to 0%), and have a relatively small budget (less than 2%).
2% too many! Besides, anything that supports workers? Removing it is TOP PRIORITY! That 2% means more money to subsidize BUSINESS!
~~DoE is the department of Energy, this is the DoEd. Other than that you're correct.~~ (post was edited)
The overwhelming majority of DoEd-associated government employees are associated with student loans or state run programs like Vocational Rehabilitation services.
Ah but if we got rid of that 2%, we could add that straight into our concentration camp budget!
Bruh who is gonna deal with the loans?
Maybe comrade Trump is planning to eliminate all student debt by destroying any records of their existence?
Doing project mayhem accidentally
i think debtor's prisons and roping in student debt is more likely, musk was out retweetering bukele on expanding slave labor
Mandatory military service for anyone who gets delinquent with loans. A reverse GI bill.
God I hope so
I've heard it said they would be punted over to the treasury
well fuck
It's been referred to committee, who knows it if it will make it back out. I'd say that I don't expect it to come to a vote, but I'm not making any predictions at this point. I mean the Republican party has been trying to get rid of public school for some time.
Man, isn't Kansas still suffering pretty hard from all their education cuts in the Brownback era? I'm sure this won't be like a larger scale, worse version of that
Lmao
