The Department of Education handles money going to states and also enforces existing educational laws. If you do away with that Department, then no one is handling federal money (most likely because there wouldn't be any) and no one is enforcing existing laws, so obviously schools would stop following them. No money and no enforcement would not lead to better public schools. It's the same with the EPA. They set standards for pollution and enforce those standards. No one enforcing means no one following means states can pollute each other and it's not against the law.A good education would become a luxury of those who could afford one.
How's that?
Did I miss him abolishing the judiciary?
Elaborate
Again, explain
And worst of all, we would have no national security plan when it comes to energy independence or airport security.
Did I miss the part where he abolished national security?
Paul's plan cuts the government work force by 10%, which will mean hundreds of thousands more unemployed. He also repeals the Affordable Care Act while replacing it with nothing. This means there will be no plan, at all, to help control insurance costs, which means every year more and more people will be uninsured. He also repeals the recent finance reforms, while replacing them with nothing, which means there will be no measures in place to prevent another asset bubble.
Put all this together and it SEVERELY hurts the middle and lower classes. Paul compensates them by .... massively cutting taxes for the wealthy. Middle and lower income earners already have ways to get dividends and invest tax-free. Eliminating taxes on capital gains and dividends is a massive gift to the wealthy. They can grow their wealth completely tax free, which will lead to even greater inequality.
The ONLY part of Paul's plan I like is ending the wars. It's the only part that will help our country.
Well I was going to type out a response to you, but there is just way to much there.
The bottom line is that the economy will move from a policy that encourages debt and spending to policy that encourages savings and investment. Which is needed because the present course is simply unsustainable, evidenced by the current economic crisis which can only be temporarily relieved by printing lots of stimulus dollars.
This is not a choice, this will happen. Thats what unsustainable means.
