Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos at a House Appropriations Committee meeting on Tuesday to discuss the 2020 education budget.Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos' 2020 budget would ax all federal funding for the Special Olympics.
The organization got about 10% of its 2017 funding from federal grants, with donations making up much of the rest of the total $148.7 million. Ultimately, the decision on government funding is made by Congress, so it is not guaranteed that the cuts will be approved.
Old news, Trump over ruled the sec of education. Trump2020 why no comment on NYs decision to do the same thing? TrumpDerangementSyndrome
Maybe Eric Prince would make up the difference. He’d never miss $18M. Let’s see how beneficent Secretary DeVos and her family are.
' the Special Olympics got about 10% of its 2017 funding, or $15.5 million' I'll wait for all the people who care about this to donate that 15.5 million dollars. Guess what, they won't. Feigning outrage costs $0 and donating costs more.
I guess people will get high tax break when is sponsor this event I guess you did not put this in a budget👎👏👏👏
'Are there no poorhouses?'
How about private philanthropy picking up the tab on the various wars we are involved in instead?
Of course, and where exactly is the tax money being directed to ? All these de taxing so what then? Thst means you would simply lower the taxes no? Or pocket it in another instance, like trips and such

Betsy DeVos gets grilled in Congress over proposed elimination of Special Olympics fundingEducation Sec. DeVos struggled before a congressional subcommittee to defend at least $7,000,000,000 in proposed cuts to education programs, including eliminating all $18,000,000 in federal funding for the Special Olympics. It appears Sec Devos is using disabled children in a twisted way for 'her' political narrative. In her mind, you ignore the less fit and those able to help themselves. Kind of like thinning the herd or disposing of the sickly. IOWs, she would lock them in the basement? The frightening thing is she has four children. “Don’t use disabled kids to guilt me about taking money from disabled kids!” Is that how that goes?
