[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like Dept of Education is on the chopping block. Any idea if the plan is to return the funding to the states via block grants, or will they simply leave states to choose between closing schools or raising taxes? And… is there anything stopping a state from simply abolishing public education altogether?[/quote] Think about it differently. States have to balance budgets generally. Thus, they spend on things (like education) from funds raised from taxes. The federal government does not balance a budget. So it can borrow and then send money to the states so they can spend that on things like education. If the federal budget cuts spending on education, there is nothing to return to the states, since the money was borrowed. The federal government could send money as block grants for items it really wants. I expect this. We will see funding tied to specific policies they want implemented.[/quote]
