Your mom

Thats the big rumor now

It does. Very sad

Your mom. You dont get to ban that

No.

From a bank?

From the states? You can't seriously be saying if the DOE goes away, there will be no more student loans, grants or scholarships. I can't believe you are saying that. if you are, fine. i can't argue against that

Ok...Can we drop the DOE and create a federal student loan department? There... Fixed it.

Ok are you saying, it the DOE goes BUH BYE...There will be no more college loans, grants and scholarships? They will disappear?

But I have been told, that this computer system, once it finds a word, eliminates the entity that had the word. So you are saying there might be someone overlooking this after the geeks find these things? Weird.

Stillllll don't know how that relates to DOGE. But Ok. We can agree to disagree

Being anti Trump will still garner a lot of votes. if he tries to stay moderate, to get elected, he would be a dangerous opponent in 2028.

Im asking questions. Do i think the states can do their own report card, yes I do. What makes you think the feds are better at it? Could the states, oh I don't know, create a scorecard on a county level? City level? Poverty level? Why couldn't a state do that? I agree a centralized system in theory could do better. But do we know that is happening? That's making an assumption that the federal government runs efficiently. No way I can back that play

I guess you have another one for the extra 15% in funding?

Yep.....That adds up. We got Whitmer here in Michigan in the same boat. Newsom/Whitmer ticket. Could absolutely see that. And as much as I'm not a fan of Newsome, that could be a very strong ticket in 2028 for the Dems.

Ok so...Are you saying...This basic computer program searches for a word in a contract, and when it's found...No other investigation is done and they simply cancel the contract? Poof? Is that what you just said?

Link please. I'd like to see this

I dont know what we need. I don't know if we need the DOE eliminated. I just don't know. I'm trying to understand why you guys think it's bad. So far I'm not being convinced on why it is. If someone wants to tell me why it's good, I'll listen to that as well. I cant get behind just blindly saying ending the DOE is bad, just because. That isn't enough for me. If you're going to stand behind the argument that the elimination of the DOE will absolutely lead to a 15% cut to funding for schools, and all the programs the DOE supports will no longer exist. Ok then. I wouldn't support that. But all i am seeing is what people will think will happen. Fine enough---I think it can be fairly surmised we are in the "we don't know" phase.

I get your point. I just don't understand the correlation to the DOGE teams competence based on these pictures being taken down.

No I'm seriously not. Show me one. Post some kind of link. I don't know how their searches work..at all

Why should it not be done? How is their search crude? Can you explain the parameters of the search to me? Cause I don't know how it works, what it looks for etc. Since you seem to, tell me how it functions. Then I might be able to better answer this

And tell me how none of that cannot be done at the state level

It's fair you don't Trust the Trump administration. That point is clear.

I mean in a way...Wouldn't it be better? Say the DOE gets $50,000,000 in funding. So $1,000,000 per state if they don't exist. Instead of that $50,000,000 getting distributed after paying millions in overhead? Now if you are assuming the feds will just keep the money, and send none of it to the states, ok then yeah it will be reduced. I don't know if that will happen and I have no evidence to say it will. But I can't argue with how you feel

Yes...the states will. That's the entire point. No more money running to the feds, to get reduced due to more salaries, buildings, whatever else. Send it to the states to do with it as they wish
