Let’s cut the shit about DOE cuts ruining primary education.

Around 60% of the DOE’s budget, or roughly $160.7 billion, went to the Office of Federal Student Aid. Additional postsecondary spending (e.g., grants to universities) brings the total for college-related funding closer to 70-71% when conservatively estimated.

Roughly 25% of the budget was transferred to states, localities, and tribes to support K-12 education. Look at the data provided by San and Politifact.

It’s not the taxpayers’ job to fund someone’s college education. We can, and will, take an axe to the Department of Education.

Get over it.
