If the Republicans want to be relevent at all in 2012 they need to show some serious leadership and cut that 2.5T before the end of the first quarter THIS YEAR !!!
And put the Dept. of Education on the TOP of the defunding list and completely eliminate it by Jan 2012
I will not be holding my breath on this so I suggest that the INDEPENDENT CONSERVATIVE groups.... be them Tea Parties or whatever keep the pressure on and let’s GOOOH forward toward 2012 !
Cut the D of E, but make sure it’s explained by showing how education was BETTER before it existed, and how it’s a STATE RESPONSIBILITY (or local), not Federal, and that if your schools suck, it’s your state’s fault.
