Washington For the third year in a row, Democrats dinged Education Secretary Betsy DeVos on Tuesday for proposing to cut funds from the Special Olympics, after-school programs and support for students from low-income families.
The difference is that this time, Democrats control the House. "The three education budgets from this administration have proposed the largest cuts to education funding in four decades. That's since the department was created in 1979," said Democratic Rep. Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut, who chairs the Appropriations Committee's Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies Subcommittee, at a hearing on DeVos' proposed 2020 budget.
It's a systematic strategy.
She was not defunding programs, she was cutting the cost of administration salaries and benefits. These programs spend more money on salaries than they do the programs. Read people, read. Try telling the truth.
BetsyDeVosED is an elitist with no clue what regular students need much less special needs or autistic kids. While other countries sacrifice to increase education spending the US is trying to cut investment in our future?
From the nephew of a down syndrome man. You need to stop. There is no reconsider or self reflect. You ARE garbage. A lot of these folks cant defend themselves, so you decided to prey on them. Guess what? I actually beat people up for picking on mentally handicapped people.
That creature shouldn't have a job as the Ed. Sec. Where do you send evil to get job other than the Trump administration?
“If they would rather die, then they had better do it and decrease the surplus population” Ebenezer Scrooge
Well she is a persistent Scrooge
The lying bitch said today that she's so happy Trump sees eye to eye with her and decided not to defund Special Olympics. JFC. Is any of his Cabinet capable of telling the truth about anything? It's astonishing
Who saw her walk down the hall silently like her soul had been stolen?
Why doesn’t ask this stupid lady Sec. Betsy DeVos to resign
CNN is not only unwatchable w/its Fox-like sychophantic pundits, its tweets are even unreadable. Framing this as a 'dems' did something is ridiculous. TurnOffCNN
Wake up CNN/Fox. Since when is calling out a cruel act bad. Maybe the difference is the shift in public opinion. Get on the right side of politics or join Breitbart and Fox.
CrueallaDeVos
Good job BetsyDeVosED
jaketapper DeVos has been a JOKE... beginning with the day she was nominated for the position. How many people are out there who are more qualified for her position than she? My guess... hundreds if not thousands!!
jaketapper I mean something has to be cut
jaketapper She is sad she got her head up Trump butt
jaketapper That's your goal...I mean that's is exactly the goal of liberal media and despicable Democrats - To ding this administration The reason why you hire corrupt Democrats into your corrupt corporation - How many Obama and Clinton admin officials does CNN employ?
jaketapper Simply put—she is a horrible person & one of many in 🍊🤡 admin!
jaketapper And, by the way, just because parents use it and want more of it, doesn’t mean a program isn’t eligible for the chopping block. Sometimes, the government doesn’t have enough for free government “stuff”.
jaketapper Key statement from the article:”Lawmakers have rejected the Trump administration's previous efforts, increasing the Education Department budget instead, even when Republicans controlled both the Senate and House.” How about some critical reading AND thinking?
(REMOVES SUNGLASSES, EXTENDS HAND) 'Come with me if you want to [SpecialOlympics].'
jaketapper Special Olympics must be saved.
jaketapper One issue is that while we are $20 trillion in debt, we should keep spending like it is 1999........times 10.
Does DeVos know the she is keeping Barron from competing realDonaldTrump FLOTUS billmaher
Im always seeing fundraisers for this. Why is coming out of parents taxes meant to educate children? Starting see why per kid is so expensive with all these extras. School vouchers, end dept of education
Here's Betsy's yacht seaquest, it's valued at around $40 million, she has 9 more yachts. She could sell one yacht and fund the SpecialOlympics outright. But shes hates poor people.
That's not accurate. She's proposing cutting grants to non-profit orgs for the SO 'education programs'. Not the actual Special Olympics.
This woman and those like her are so far removed from the needs of these students. We will never make America great if this is how we treat those least able to fight back. We are called to be better.
jaketapper Looking for that wall money.
jaketapper The fact that she was confirmed is a travesty.
jaketapper Lock her up she is a crook just like 45
jaketapper This is what republicans are about.Face it.
jaketapper Disgusting
jaketapper The heartless, soulless republican party!
jaketapper Sounds like we need a hearing.
jaketapper Children in cages, hate toward minorities, foreigners, WOMAN, the LGBT community and the disabled. Anyone else seen this before NaziParty Republicans
jaketapper CNN is FAKENEWS
Don’t forget these were all put in place to grab money for the unnecessary wall 45th promised his over-educated voting base
THE TEACHERS UNION IS A DISGRACE FOR OUR CHILDREN !
Are we really that surprised? Really? This lady is hilariously underqualified to be where she is and we are surprised shes making stupid decisions?
Sorry. Too busy paying for the kids of illegal immigrants.
Hitler didn't like the injured man either
If the Democrats do one dam thing right this whole year it will be to not approve the whack job Devos budget plan to slash funding for Special Olympics/Autism Programs/disabled care programs etc. it is absolutely DISGUSTING what this administration deems a priority. Pisses meoff
EWTNews What irony, a time when women are encouraged to go through with pregnancies of Down Syndorme babies. DeVos is cutting programs that help disabled children and their families.
She’s a threat to public education🤬 Democrats and Republicans in nonpartisan groups with across the aisle votes STOP The Choice Lies defunding of our public education in Oklahoma by our past Republican leadership. Americans will do so, too ☦️🙏🏻🇺🇸❤️
They want cuts to all these different programs but not letting us know where the money goes after they make the cuts. My taxes don't go down, so the money is going somewhere?
DeVos is a Disgrace!
ZZZzzzz
I don’t see anything wrong with people checking the budget for the year the schools waste so much on ridiculous stuff if they paid for good teachers and things they need instead of greed our kids would benefit instead of the unions
F33ZY Easy to criticize someone trying to cut Federal money somewhere. At least she didn't joke about Special Ed Olympics... like you know, Obama.
Trump is cutting medical to the elderly so they will die off; also those that are weak and sickly. He is looking for a young healthy military and become like NorthKorea.
She should be ashamed of herself
Terrible
the rules of politics need to change! We have to be able to prevent idiots like DeVos from being in control of a sector that she doesn’t know anything about! it’s absurd
Let the PrivateSector do that - IvankaTrump has a better answer than Gov't, who has failed miserably!!!
In France back at the day her head be disconnected already
She is legit TRASH!!!
when will you have your Golden Calf Scamenatti back on?
'There's no budget-cutting in Special Olympics!'
CNN want to say that it was Rosenstein and bar that agreed on no obstruction
No one Trust CNN reporting
Barack Hoax Obama
