The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

"I love the poorly educated!" ~Trump

Trump signs order to eliminate Department of Education...
The senile sociopath who doesn't know the difference between a transgenic mouse and a transgender mouse wants to eliminate the Dept. Of Education.

"WASHINGTON, March 20 (Reuters) - Flanked by students, U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order intended to essentially dismantle the federal Department of Education, making good on a longstanding campaign promise to conservatives."

Of course this will harm MAGA children the most as the red states that voted for Trump receive considerably more federal education funding than blue states.
"This higher reliance on federal education funding in red states is largely due to their lower overall wealth, which limits their capacity to make up the difference with state and local funds."
"For example: Mississippi, a red state, had the highest proportion of federal public school funding at 23%.
"South Dakota and Arkansas, also red states, followed with 22% each.
In contrast, New York, a blue state, had the lowest federal funding proportion at 7%."

As Trump talks about his executive order to dismantle the DOE, he praises Scandinavian countries like Norway, Denmark, Finland and Sweden for their excellent educational systems!
LOL Now he loves Socialism!
