By Moriah Balingit and Moriah Balingit Reporter covering national education issues Email Bio Follow Danielle Douglas-Gabriel Danielle Douglas-Gabriel Reporter covering the economics of education Email Bio Follow March 11 at 6:37 PM President Trump is again proposing to cut billions of dollars from the Education Department, seeking to eliminate after-school programs, teacher training and grants for other school needs.
[Trump proposes $4.7 trillion budget with domestic cuts, $8.6 billion in new funding for border wall] The administration wants to eliminate a $2 billion grant program for teacher professional development. But it is hoping to increase funding for a grant program that would give teachers “vouchers” and allow them to pick their own professional development.
With the Education Department in the midst of revamping the way it administers federal loans and grants, the agency is asking for more money to execute that overhaul. DeVos wants $1.8 billion for the project, the Next Generation Financial Services Environment, widely known as NextGen. That represents a $133 million spending increase on managing the federal student loan portfolio, according to Blew.
realDonaldTrump trying to taking away others education because he was a failure as student
Excellent. That will zero his chances for re-election.
Cause who needs education... it works out for Republicans
People who clearly don’t value educating themselves about anything should not be the ones making decisions about education for anyone else.
Idiot
Take from the poor and disadvantaged to make up for the miserable decisions this uneducated clown has made.
The Liar in chief gave billionaires and corporations trillions in taxcuts. Now the low lifes are trying to screw everyone else by slashing social that many people count on.
Walls more important honestly
This is appalling! As I have said before Devos was put into that position to destroy public education. She did it in Michigan....now she’s doing it to the entire nation! Shameful!
Future is coal!
GOOD! SINCE LEFTIST TEACHERS WANT TO INDOCTRINATE KIDS WITH LEFTIST IDEOLOGY, EDUCATION DEPT SHOULD B CUT UNTIL DEPT OF EDUCATION STOPS INDOCTRINATING KIDS & STARTS TEACHING THEM! YES I AM YELLING!
Becsuse that is exactly what the United States needs. Dumb people voting in more dumb people to govern the dumbing down of this nation.
😡😡😡😡😡😡
iambrig Gawd, I now feel ill. What is the matter with him? Is he really stupid or really, really stupid?
bruntofitall Republicans are destroying this country. They must be stopped. Every day a new felony or treason unearthed at our trash WH..
That's a good start. It should pull government control over curriculum out of the federal government and put that responsibility back in the states where it belongs.
Bingo!...😐
Education means nothing to him!
As everyone knows, we’re spending WAY too much on education.
Enough!
Yes, stupid's are easy to control
Lies!
YAWN OH LOOK TRMPIE TAKING MORE NORMS AWAY IMPEACH the MFer already
Moron..... we need the education money for curriculum projects... to help develop a smarter society..
For those of you who still get their source info from the FakeNews Washington Compost may I suggest doing your own research b4 you buy into their extremely biased neo-liberal socialist supporting narrative.
The man is stupid
He needs to slash the whole department. We've tried it for 40 years -- it's not working.
While giving his daughter's program $100 million.
Border walls, education, healthcare they don't matter to this maroon. 25thAmendment
This is outrageous. It pretty much summarizes the situation where the country is headed to with this idiot.
That's a crying shame. All the rest of the world respect education,America thinks its obsolete.
Start with firing Betsy DeVos
Guess the Dems should’ve helped when they had the chance. The bad thing is we spend more than that on illegal immigrant kids education. Insanity. If South America thinks we’re so great then why don’t they just fight for their country and make it great? Weird.
So much winning.
Take it from congresses pay they do nothing. TermLimitsNow
😡👎🏻
Thank God The Budget Is Outside Of His Control. And Thankfully, Several Republican Senators Have Already Jump Ship. 😂😂😂💩💩💩
Horrible idea
He needs to increase his support base like any dictator. Keep them poor and stupid and they’ll see you like their great, white hope. He did after all day he loved the “poorly educated”. Someone smart can’t vote for stupid. And I’m saying this as a Republican.
Kinda tough to Make America Great Again if you’re submitting budgets that cut EDUCATION. Think about it. SMH ostrichrepublicans
I'd completely do away with the DOE. Since its creation, it has been nothing but damaging to our education system.
Education barely has a budget as it is and he wants to CUT IT?!
What’s wrong with that once AIs take over what do you need EDUCATION FOR
WINNING!!
Good their doing a lousy job other countries spend less & do better.
Complete reversal of what Americans stand for. Instead of helping the elderly and poor, Trump wants to cut $845 billions from Medicare for elderly/poor and also massive cuts from SS to spend more for the military and continue the tax cut for the top 1%. Also massive cuts at DOT.
dont know who you socialist Democrats is going to pay for your open Borders welfare program.? 1 open the borders 2 Give welfare for 'everybody '
That way he can dumb down his core even more.
If you want to control people, dumb them down.
GOP got to pay for their “tax cuts” and extensive military spending.... GOP are gutting everything else.... YOU GET WHAT YOU VOTE FOR.....
MAYBE WHEN THEY START ACTUALLY EDUCATING INSTEAD OF INDOCTRINATING WE CAN GIVE IT BACK.MAYBE WITH FEWER ILLEGALS WE WOULD HAVE ENOUGH FOR CITIZENS
But Trump wants his wall that Mexico will pay for. Lol. Keeping his republican base stupid is a priority of the GOP. Educated America would never stand for this.
Because he wants everyone to be as ignorant as him.
The WP just spends too much energy bashing The President of The United States, unlike The New Yorker who uses it's energy to discuss important current situations like the epidemics coming from sick illegals crossing into the USA illegally!!
How can Democrats criticize our Presidents budget when they’re neglecting their duty by refusing to propose a budget of their own because they don’t want the American people to see the truth about the cost of their radical leftist fantasy programs that would bankrupt America?
Trump’s supporters won’t mind he cuts funds for their kids schools
Public schools aren’t teaching anymore. They’re indoctrinated.
Of course, because the republican party wants to gut public education.
So… We’re making America less intelligent again? Are you trying to secure your sons presidential election down the road? Make enough people stupid, they’ll vote for him?
Trump is stealing money from necessary budgets to go where? To fund how many boondoggles propossed by his donors for which they will be massively overpaid?
We just want affluent people's children to attend college. The rest of you like Marie Antoinette said 'Let them eat cake'
Keeps his base stupid.
After all what's more important, persecuting poor Central Americans or educating our children? Trump's world, fear and hate.
Have to keep all of the GOP voting rubes as stupid as possible so they don’t realize they are getting hosed on the daily!
Ok Trump supporters there goes your kids schools
5 billion for students to attend private K-12 while cutting loan forgiveness for public sector workers? Not acceptable.
Of course! Can't have the peasants smarter than the king! Oh wait...
Wtf!?!
Then fire the whats-her-name over education, no funds, no job!
Trump loves the uneducated...easier to manipulate. Another way to pay for huge tax cuts made for rich and corporations.
Heck he should do away with the whole Dept.
So much for job growth and preparing to ne competitive in a new work force
🤬🤬🤬
So we don’t need schools anymore cuz we have great border wall!!!! High Five
IMPEACH
Well...he loves the uneducated so...
Apparently, that’s how hthe trumpster plans to pay for wall. Good plan. Because nothing will Make America Great Again like an uneducated population. The man is truly a stable genius. And smart, really smart.
Education is the key to success!!! These two are lacking both!!! SAD FOR AMERICA TO HAVE THEM HOLD SUCH HIGH POLITICAL OFFICES!!!
He’s the perfect example of what happens when you cut funding for education.
Thus the descent into darkness begins
Education vs Wall. How is making a less intelligent America making it great again?
Well that just means states like California won’t be able to build every school to look like a Palace.
That is unacceptable . No, no and no
I’m speechless
Gosh we can tell who is concerned about our children's future. But then if you look at how well Trump displays his educated intellect...
So he’s trying to end wars but still boost military spending instead of domestic?
The stable genius is against education?
Oh Sure, that's a great idea!
The uneducated are the bread and butter of the GOP.
The best thing Trump can do for education is to get rid of Betsy DeVos.
That's ok. It's not like they're using every cent of their budget. Amazing level of waste in that department.
Today would be a good day for Trump to resign.
Recall, this is the same man who identifies a person by first and company name, instead of using their last name ... you know to save time & words. Not surprised he wants to slash the education budget. 🙄
Why is there even a fed dept of education? States already have dept of Ed. Come to think of it, why is there a state dept when there are local school boards....a bureaucracy of bureaucracies of bureaucracies. Can't see why that would have problems....
Awesome!!! It should back in the state’s hands anyway!!!
Just what is needed for the memorial wall on the border
A promise made a promise broken.
Wonder what that will do to special education funding?
How can schools buy guns they need? NRA, going 2 b upset.
good
Republickuns at werk
Of course. In his society there is no need for education.
Slash it all.
Actually he should get rid of that department and stop funding colleges. The money would be better spent on trade schools where people have a better chance at getting a high paying job.
keep em dumb, keep em red.
Horrible man.
This is literally the absolute WORST budget move he could possibly make. Maybe if he wasn't just there to give himself a tax break America would be in better shape.
Trump, Kochs and DeVos are hell bent on destroying public education The rich creating private schools, defunding schools across the nation. Tax payer $ to fund charter schools and religious institutions Public debt, private profits, money laundering of mind-boggling proportions.
Low IQ! Low IQ! Low IQ!
Education Secretary Betsy DeVos won't care, it's just part-time work to her... realDonaldTrump BetsyDeVosED BetsyDeVos
Not only did he make promises about balancing the budget but he said that he could pay off the Debt in less than 10 years! This is WAY WAY off that 'promise'
Cut in Medicare,Medicaid, EPA, EDU, health research, infrastructure &other prog.for Mid’class&poors while incr. in hate wall, space force? & super riches keep their large taxcut that cause over $1T deficit. WTF! ewarren SpeakerPelosi SenSchumer rweingarten RepCohen maddow
That’s right. realDonaldTrump knows his base exists because there are the uneducated masses. He now wants to expand that base. EducationForAll is the main enemy to trumpism. trumpism thrives on ignorance.
Previous presidents may have looked the centre ground to win more on the fence voters, and have more moderate policies to gain those votes. Trump however, has concentrated on his hardcore base, knowing it is this section that will get him 4 more years.
He loves the uneducated so he’s trying to create more
What happened to the tax cut for the rich that was going to pay for itself?
DeVos can go.
All right. Somebody show some guts and come out with his school transcripts. Every time he tries to do something like this he should be embarrassed. That's the only way to get to him. Like Nancy saying he wasn't worth it. That's perfect.
How is he still in office...😑
Trumps agenda (for real, factual): 1. No science 2. No health care 3. Destroy environment 4. Build useless wall 5. Middle class pay more taxes 6. Billionares pay ZERO taxes 7. Protect corruption 8. Promote racism 9. Alienate allies 10. Befriend evil enemies 11. Happy endings🌊
Trump does not care about the popular vote. As long as he appeases his red cap wearing brigade, with all their guns and wall obsessions, then he's happy. And unfortunately America, you can look forward to another 4 years of this.
Too right. Put some of those communist agitators masquerading as teachers out of work
Trump loves the poorly educated!
Well why not! POTUS is about as bright as the Arctic in December and he's POTUS for crying out loud. Why engage our children or help teachers hone their skills when all one really needs to succeed is to learn the Art of the Steal?
We need to spend MORE money on education!!
Keep the population dumb and attack the media....where has this happened before?
Keep those kids stupid so they can keep winning.
Children are a Country’s most precious resource...except the USA and the Republican Party.
Less schools, more walls. Works fine for all dictators across the globe, why not this one?
he said
realDonaldTrump LOVES the poorly educated.
It’s more than obvious where all the slashing budgets across the board is going. He stealing the funds to build a wall.
The GOP is Anti-American
A bone head move 🤒
Oh great!
Keep the populace ignorant, control them easier.
He is killing everything that good for Americans
That means your city or county will have to raise property taxes if they want to keep these programs.
Trump loves ignorance! Most of his followers are ignorant. That is why they support him!
So its either 'Look how much the deficit has grown!!!' Or 'Look how Trump is slashing programs!!!' We get it. wapoganda
And I bet that doesn't include the money they want to suck out of PublicSchool through vouchers (whereby the wealthy will take their 'tax dollars' elsewhere, like to CovingtonCatholic and places that don't believe in science. DeclineAndFallOfAmerica
Keep em uneducated.
Make America Great Again? How?
We ur not Smart u don’t think Smart
DaisyMaxey Trump loves the poorly educated.
The people who have more financial good fortune than they could ever hope to run through in their lifetimes are showing themselves to be so greedy as to take from others in need. This is not what our country should be doing and it is absolutely shameful.
Education: enemy of the elite
He loves the uneducated.
We has wasted tons & tons on education without real success. We have abandon teaching for testing. Nothing important is taught ie: finances, compound interest, respect& basic living skills.
Betsy. Devos. Knows. Shit. About. Educating. Children.
This's fine. I'm not a fan of handing $blns to teacher unions to promote non-scientific-based ideologies, camouflaged as education. I'm actually big fan of home school (moms home) & know several VERY COMPETENT young people that are home school alums. That's Freedom, folks🇺🇸
Our youth won’t be able to tell their elbows from their assholes but at least we will be able to keep brown people out, and that’s all we can really ask for
Heartbreaking and short minded.
He did say he loves the uneducated.
Our healthcare doesn’t matter! Our education system doesn’t matter. Our senior citizens don’t matter. Trump budget is undermining Americans!
'Teacher training' 'After school activities'
Trump supporters don't believe in education anyway, they prove it everyday...
Step, by step, minute by minute we are inching closer to this movie becoming a documentary. Idiocracy
👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Good. Kids aren’t learning anything except indoctrination to know how to destroy this country.
Gotta pay for that wall and big tax break to the 1 percent some how. SMH
Is this to ensure he has more dumb voters?
Why is there any budget for this agency.
This makes perfect sense — the kids can work on his wall as an after-school activity.
He loves the uneducated.
SenSasse your guy doesn’t know what he is doing. Stand up and do something
I’m guessing he doesn’t think education is important probably because he was and is a dunce and once a dunce always a dunce
DaniDougPost Could have told you that Trump wouldn't be an 'Education President'
Something needs to be slashed, but it ain't the budget at the Department of Education.
The Poor and Uneducated pay More....? (A 2 edged sword..?)
O setor da educação e a parte mais importante de uma nação. Jovens muito bem instruidos são pessoas preparadas para erguer a nação.
Sooo let me get this straight. A wall and more military ( Space Force) is about all we need these days? Oh yeah and more corporate tax cuts...
And we the people will seek to slash you from our lives
Meredith McIver has 'heard everything, and she's taken good notes,' says trump. Like cohen, she lied about trump’s net worth (see: trump’s ’07 depo). It's time a reporter ACTUALLY found this woman, and a congressional subpoena should follow.
realDonaldTrump MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN
8.5B ? 😮and I have $0 ? How sway?
He wants his f’ing wall at the expense of seniors, the poor and our children’s future
slash the part that teaches creationism and the part that actively denies climate change and we'll be fine
Idiocracy!
He's like a fox in a hen house ...😂))
Bernie2020 more smart kids, less smart bombs.
