Federal spending is still too high. I agree that educating the poor is important, but I do not believe that the federal government has the responsibility of providing education. The federal government should cut taxes so people can keep more of their own money, to spend on education or whatever they choose.
People can decide at the state or local level how best to spend education dollars.
Education dollars, whether for tuition or school lunches, should be handled closer to home.
