Fox: These cuts to education are devastating(Fake News)

Wherever you live in this country you will be impacted by these devastating cuts.These are billions and billions of dollars.

"Fedgub shouldn’t be in the education process at all."

I agree.

In fact, the states have never expressly constitutionally delegate to the corrupt feds the specific power to regulate, tax and spend in the name of INTRAstate schooling. This is evidenced by the following excerpts from the writings of Thomas Jefferson and clarifications by previous generations of state sovereignty-respecting Supreme Court justices.

Note that Jefferson had indicated that the states would need to first amend the Constitution to give the feds the power to tax and spend for intrastate educations purposes, something that the states have never done.

"Our citizens have wisely formed themselves into one nation as to others and several States as among themselves. To the united nation belong our external and mutual relations; to each State, severally, the care of our persons [emphasis added], our property, our reputation and religious freedom.” —Thomas Jefferson: To Rhode Island Assembly, 1801.
On a few articles of more general and necessary use, the suppression in due season will doubtless be right, but the great mass of the articles on which impost is paid is foreign luxuries, purchased by those only who are rich enough to afford themselves the use of them. Their patriotism would certainly prefer its continuance and application to the great purposes of the public education, roads, rivers, canals, and such other objects of public improvement as it may be thought proper to add to the constitutional enumeration of federal powers [emphases added]”—Thomas Jefferson : Sixth Annual Message to Congress
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
