SCOTUS allows Trump to finish dismantling the Department of Education

In 2000, just under 15 percent of the population was uninsured and by 2010, the year that the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) was enacted, the uninsured rate had increased to 16 percent. The
uninsured rate began to fall after the ACA’s coverage provision went into effect. The first provision, which
went into effect in September 2010, allows young adults to stay on their parents’ insurance until age 26. Two
other ACA coverage provisions—the expansion of Medicaid eligibility and private insurance reforms, including
tax credits for the purchase of private coverage through the newly established Marketplaces—went into effect
in January 2014. By 2015, the uninsured rate had declined to 9.1 percent. The uninsured rate stayed at that
level through 2017 before increasing slightly the next two years. In 2019, 10.3 percent of the total U.S.
population, or 33.2 million people, was uninsured.

Three pieces of legislation aimed to stabilize health coverage in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2020
Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) provided states additional federal financial support if they met
certain conditions, including agreeing to maintain the enrollment of most Medicaid beneficiaries. The
American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARP) increased Marketplace premium tax credits for individuals and
families with incomes between 100 and 400 percent of the FPL and extended eligibility for premium tax credits
to those with income above 400 percent of the FPL. The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA) renewed these
Marketplace tax credit enhancements through 2025. In addition to these legislative efforts, the Biden-Harris
Administration took administrative actions to improve access to health coverage, including creating special
enrollment periods for Marketplace coverage and increasing funding for education and outreach.
3 At the state
level, since 2020 seven states (UT, ID, NE, OK, MO, SD, and NC) have implemented the ACA Medicaid
expansion.
The uninsured rate fell after these policies went into effect. The annual rates were 9.7 percent in 2020, 9.2
percent in 2021, 8.4 percent in 2022, and 7.6 percent in 2023. The uninsured rate for Q1 2024 is 8.2 percent,

Iron Dome — with thanks to Barack Obama — represents nothing short of a miraculous umbrella in Israel’s fight against extremist terror.

The supreme court in its infinite stupididty just created a loophole

If state departments create a policy and then the president does not like. He just fires mostly everyone in the department.

Thus they cannot do their job as they do not have the manpower

So Americans lost their jobs and Republicans are applauding it.

Yes
You got one right
Finally

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Well, that guarantees 99% of the teachers' and their families' vote next time to non-MAGA candidates.

Teachers do not give a shit about the Education Department any more than most of them care about their union.

Tax leeches, tax leeches aren’t on the payroll.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Teacher union members you mean...They are already within the dem's base.

Despite union efforts at electing Dems, most teachers vote conservative when they are not in blue cities or states.

Congress has no "power" under the Constitution to spend tax dollars on "education," whatever that is.

The legitimate functions of the DoE are being handed off to other departments, mainly DoJ, which ensures compliance with Federal anti-discrimination laws.

Read the Constitution

Yes SCOTUS allows Trump's Dept. of Education layoffs. Education belongs with the States not the Feds. DOE is another Carter failure.

It was signed by Reagan. Nice deflection attempt.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Yep, we'll watch education improve dramatically.

The Education Department has nothing to do with education compared to state and local school boards.

Section 8.
The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

To borrow money on the credit of the United States;

To regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes

I loved my Trump middle-class tax cuts.

Why didn't Biden make them permanent when the Dems held the House and Senate?

Didn't Biden care about helping the middle-class?

They could not get the GOP to give them cloture.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

About 45 year ago, I took some education courses in college. It was a total waste of time. You take a retired engineer, they would be a better math teacher than any pedagogy student. There's a saying: "If you can't do it, teach it, and if you can't teach it, teach teachers how to teach it. That describes education departments at universities perfectly. They should all be dissolved. A whole bunch of make-work nonsense from a bunch of leftwingers.

How many years were you a teacher? never. Your opinion matters not.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Teachers do not give a shit about the Education Department any more than most of them care about their union.

As usual, you know even less than most civics HS teachers.

No change in other words.

Down from 100%.

I know lots of teachers. I know about 5 liberals.
