Trump's new financial plan...We don't need the EPA, or schools!
    #23612029 - 09/04/16 05:09 PM (7 years, 4 months ago)

http://bipartisanreport.com/2016/09/03/breaking-trump-announces-plan-to-gut-education-eliminate-490000-teacher-jobs-details/

Quote:

Donald Trump’s education plan would obliterate 490,000 teacher jobs, according to the think tank Center for American Progress Action Fund [CAPAF]. His horrendous plan would totally kill off the Department of Education; however, it gets worse.

When the Republican candidate was in Florida earlier this month, he said about the Education Department:

‘There is so much waste.’

But that is not all. He intends to decimate at the Environmental Protection Agency, too. Why? He needs to pay for his “billionaires-first” tax plan.

So, what would Trump’s plan do to the Department of Education? According to the CAPAF, eight million low-income students, or the equivalent of New York City’s population, would lose millions in college grants. The nearly half million teaching jobs would disappear; that’s 14 percent of all kindergarten through high school teachers across the country. CAPAF says that killing all those jobs would be the same as:

‘UPS, one of the country’s largest employers, with over 350,000 American workers—going out of business.’

Trump's Plan Kills Of the Department of Education.
Trump’s Plan Kills Of the Department of Education.
According to the think tank, this would be the actual results of demolishing the Department of Education:

‘8 million students every year would lose Pell grants
490,000 or more teacher positions could be eliminated $1.3 trillion in student loans would be at risk
9 million low-income students would lose $15 billion of Title I funding annually
5 million children and students with disabilities would lose $12.7 billion used every year to ensure that they receive a quality education
750,000 or more students from military families, Native American students, students living in U.S. territories, and students living on federal property or Native American lands would lose $1.1 billion per year for their school
4,000 or more rural school districts would lose more than $175 million used annually to help improve the quality of teaching and learning in many hard-to-staff schools
$700 million used by states to support the 5 million English language learners currently in public schools—representing close to 10 percent of all students—would be cut.’
Other factors that would go by the wayside are the federal guarantees of equality in “race, income, language, and disability” in public education. A recent CBO [Congressional Budget Office] report indicated:

‘U.S. high school graduation rates are hitting all-time highs; dropout rates are at historical lows; college going rates are close to the highest they have ever been; and test scores across the country are improving.

‘ But the elimination of the protections and resources from the Department of Education could significantly hinder or even reverse these gains.’

The federal government has helped “states and school districts fill funding gaps created by the Great Recession.” That means under Trump, states like:

‘Pennsylvania and Ohio—which were dramatically hard hit by this recession—would each lose well over $ 2 billion annually in federal education funding.’

Discarding the budget of the Department of Education, which is under $70 billion, would be a fraction of the Trump billionaire’s tax plan’s budget of “$9.5 trillion 10-year price tag.”

It is no surprise that Trump forgot about his “earlier pledge to make education a top priority of the federal government.” President Ronald Reagan thought it would be a good idea to get rid of the Department of Education as a “source of major savings,” but then he had to reinstitute the department.

Reagan’s 1983 report “A Nation at Risk,” told people the failure to:

‘…deliver quality elementary and secondary education gave rise to “a rising tide of mediocrity” and recommended that it was “essential … for government at all levels to affirm its responsibility for nurturing the Nation’s intellectual capital.’

CAPAF believes that the support and protection of our country’s students should be a priority, no matter who is president. Trump’s plan for cutting the Department of Education:

‘To sacrifice resources for America’s students—particularly the most vulnerable—to pay for tax cuts that would unduly benefit the country’s top earners is as shortsighted as it is callous.’

That is what happens when people elect a man with no empathy nor concern for the average citizen. Then, too, the great dumbing down of America creates a malleable population.

Who needs schools? You don't need a diploma to pull a trigger. We need bodies for the apocalypse in Dabiq! Once Jesus comes back, we won't need to worry about the kids or the environment!

Of course, I wonder if the Bible or the Quran got it right...will Jesus be on our side or theirs? Interesting thought experiment. Flip a coin.

Personally, I'm not too worried, I've got a full ride through grad school on a private scholarship. Nor do I really plan on having kids. Or a job in education. Plus, I've got citizenship in a different country that has recently dumped a lot of money into a state-of-the-art research complex. If that's not true for you...well...good luck? Maybe step up those prayers. Or actually do something.

both the EPA and public education systems are a joke, so what could it hurt to shatter them and potentially start fresh?

Reagan tried that. It didn't work so great. As for the EPA, it's only a joke because the funding gets cut every year. Of course, if you don't need the EPA, you're cool with people dumping toxic waste in your backyard, right? Maybe you wanna move to Flint, Michigan? I hear they have tasty water.

the EPA is bought and paid for by corporations.  they only regulate what they choose.  certainly, with its origins, the EPA actually made environmentally positive differences.  today, not so much


i've lived in a place where toxic waste was released into the air every 3 months from above-ground waste storage facilities (which the uranium enrichment plant had been violation of for not having underground storage for over a decade).  the plant was on a major river, feeding into the Mississippi, with a good portion of the people not in the immediate town living off tainted well-water. 




as far as public schools go.....until critical thinking skills are once again taught in schools, they will continue to be a joke

Most wastewater from nuclear plants is safe to drink, they're designed to have several self contained systems to ensure the cooling water stays clean. The heat isn't great for fish though. As for aboveground storage, yeah, that's a problem. Has been for two decades now, for every operating plant in the US. So has maintenance. It's all about funding cuts. Heck, down in NC they're lobbying to remove coal ash from the list of "dangerous byproducts" not because they found out they're safe, but because the big energy company (Duke?) would rather not pay to bury the waste. I agree that the EPA could do with some fixing. I don't see how getting rid of it fixes anything, except maybe saving those big corporations some bribe money. Anyone want a new yacht? (CEOs only)

As for public schools, yeah, they need some help. Maybe getting rid of all the standardized testing, so the teachers don't teach only the material on the test would help. Getting rid of one in every seven teachers, on the other hand? I can't see how that would do anything but make the public schools more of a joke.

But hey, unemployment has been pretty low lately, hasn't it? Maybe we can beat our recent record!

EDIT: Keep in mind that this will affect higher education as well. Colleges will lose funding, which means they will need to let in more students, who will already be dumber to begin with. Even now, companies complain that US college grads suck. Would this help? Considering the (presumed) deconstruction of the H1B visa program, I wonder how many companies will stick around?

It will kill off the department of education?  GREAT1!!  That shitty ass boondoggle should be called the Department of Teacher's Unions.  Go back and look at test scores since the Department of Education Started.  It hasn't helped a fucking bit.


By the way, wasn't it Obama that killed off Charter schools and private schooling in the inner cities for Thousands of black kids? :lolsy:

I spent at least two years at a private school K-12, and there was a grand total of one black kid. In my grade, and in the entire high school.

I'm sure that cutting funding to private and charter schools disproportionately targets minorities. There was a black kid (0.25% of the school population!).

Please source otherwise, because I've literally never seen a private/charter school that had demographics that could not be described as "So white wonderbread would feel weird" without it specifically being a school for minorities. Those open a new can of problems.
