The Department of Education, one of the 100 worst legacies of ‘Jimmuh’, the late and unlamented former worst president, is being slowly phased out by the Trump administration. Expect multiple legal battles to come and the media hysteria has been mounting for much of last week. The problem however is… who cares?
The D of E is one of those things that sound important but are really just ways for government bureaucrats, special interests and their massive allied constellation of contractors and crooks to buy second homes.
The impact of the Department of Education falling into a black hole on the average American would be roughly that of being hit by a piece of lint. Which is to say it would be another parasitic government entity disappearing to be replaced by the money being stolen and being diverted somewhere else.
The media has been trying hard to panic Americans over the disappearance of the D of E. All it’s come up with are warnings that without the Department of Education mismanaging its student loan portfolio, there will be “chaos”.
That’s right. Chaos. The standby explanation for why nothing in government can be changed or reduced, just slathered with more delicious layers of DEI to cut in new and exciting special interests.
The media warns of the terrifying possibility that student loans will be… get this… transferred from the Department of Education to the Treasury Department. Tremble in fear of the chaos that will ensue when fake colleges, welfare students and foreigners defraud the Treasury directly instead of the Department of Education as they have gotten used to doing.
