I thought the gov't and our economy were doing GREAT if this is 'winning' I AM sick of it Build the wall....

$ 7.1 BILLION in cuts for Education AND 15% ‘increase’ for Dept if Ed executive salaries. RejectTrumpRegime VoteGOPOut

morgfair I GUESS WE THE PEOPLE DONT PROVIDE THE FEDERAL TAX MONEY TO PAY FOR IT! IT'S OUR FREAKING MONEY YOU WITCH! BetsyDeVosED

morgfair Resign. Totally unqualified to guide the education of our children.

morgfair 'given out budget realities'? surely you could have shaved something off before the tax cut.

If realDonaldTrump would like to cut the budget why not try a change to the IRS form w new law he can only travel to golf if funded this way. My guess SpecialOlympics funded Trump stays home IRS NunesCow Thoughts?

Wealthy people must think that money makes them godly or superior to regular people. They either got their money by marriage, inheritance or screwing other people and that makes them exalted, sick stuff.

This woman is so icy cold, I swear she would eat her young for her own survival .... lol 😂😂😂😂

This is what happens when you put millionaire/billionaire in office, and positions ... They simply have no understanding of how normal, average, everyday people live .. They are heartless, careless and ignorant ... Have we learned a lesson yet?

Actually it was millions, but why would a news outlet be concerned about facts.

BetsyDeVosED is cutting funding for the special olympics which offers a life experience participants can only dream of. Sell one of your damn yachts and finance it! You’re all thief’s. But this is really low!

Please tell us how much is being cut? Actual numbers? Per people I have talked to special olympics is privately funded over 90 percent? Please clarify were “ billions” of dollars come into play... so I can direct my outrage in the proper direction....

Aren't charter schools private too? How about the religious schools ?

Millions upon millions $ in private donations and revenue from reinvestment a non profit org. Education $ better allocated for education ! No more taxpayer $ for special olympics .

Correct your headline. It’s millions, not billions.

A horribly ignorant, arrogant and uncaring individual, and administration, completely devoid of empathy for our people. These despicable individuals are on the wrong side history, common decency, and humanity.

She's like trump, all about doing things that the rich people will prosper from . . .screw the poor, the under privileged, & those with special needs !

She just posted the truth. Fake news again!!! Stop lying and scaring people!! Our president supports and protects the disabled!!!

May she be infested with a million angry fleas.

What MSM not mentioning is, Private donors are massive in this area. Every Special Olympics 90% or more comes from Private D.

Millions, not billions.

Sec. DeVos is an animal with no heart

That is sooo wrong.what did the Special Olympics do to them?

Well, US government budget must be cut in half because debt has consequences. Mush start somewhere, especially useless, silly stuff that can be easily sponsored by corporations. NoHateJustTruth

Why is our' current budget reality' so terrible that you (Davos)would have to do such a deplorable thing ? Is the Trump admin not managing our budget as it should?

*o*

bout fn time somebody starts looking at the balance sheet and refocusing funds where they are needed!

She is an evil witch

Cruella DeVos is a rotten husk of a human devoid of empathy and compassion

Shame on her!

BetsyDeVosED RESIGN MONSTER DEVOS!

'millions'.... I think or that is one heck of an event.

I don't mean to be harsh or noncaring, but if private donations exceed the govts donations then couldn't we use that money for other programs

The taxpayes are putting in billions of dollars? That is unacceptable!!!

By DeVos' definition, the US should cut off payments to Big Oil, Pharma, Ag, and every other industry that gets massive tax advantages. Then repeal the GOPTaxScam. If you're going to take away money from disabled kids, take from big corps too.

Not to mention asking for a 15 percent raise for herself! Frikkin horrible person!

Special olympics is a private organization. The 18 million is a donation not funding.

B.I.T.C.H.

👏👏👏👏👏
