Candidates like Alan Keyes want to get rid of the Department of Education. It would save billions in federal spending - and shift billions to the property taxes of local school boards. The Democrats never mention tax cuts, they're too busy telling us what great things they're going to do with the extra money, most of which won't hit the treasury for another five years. What we really need to do is continue to pay off the national debt. A debt to the government is income to a savings bond holder.
Some debt is OK if the long-term return is worth it.
That's more than any single budget other than Health and Human Services. It's bigger than the USDA budget, bigger than the Defense budget. And it's growing every year. Let's not blow it on a vote-buying effort. Thank you for visiting.
