How does the Department of Education play an important role exactly? When I first read Ron Paul's views on educations, I thought "wow, this guy doesn't like education?" However, I've learned that since the inception of the Department of Education, educational standards have only decreased while higher education has become less affordable. Seriously, why is it that educational costs have skyrocketed (beyond the rate of inflation) over the past 20-30 years? Hmm...

We have ourselves one worthless government agency.

And isn't it creepy that our government dictates learning curriculum anyways?

I want a president that will either fix our welfare state (super democrat), or just get rid of the shit that's broken (super conservative).
