“It’s no surprise the Department of Education faces nearly 50 percent reduction in force after Tuesday’s notice this week. If the Department of Education was a publicly traded company, its stock would be in freefall, analysts would be issuing dire warnings, and shareholders would be calling for the CEO’s resignation. Why? Because in the business world, companies that spend billions of dollars without achieving measurable success eventually collapse. Yet, when it comes to government institutions, failure seems to have no consequences – except for the taxpayers footing the bill. With President Donald Trump wanting to abolish the Department Of Education, should this agency have been RIP a long time ago? Since its establishment in 1979, the Department of Education has ballooned into a bureaucratic behemoth. In 2023, the department’s budget was roughly $79.6 billion, not including an additional $120 billion in pandemic relief funds allocated to schools.” (03/12/25)
