Thank you Gil.

I think he will kill it in the debates. I will be watching as well.gil wrote: ↑Sat Aug 19, 2023 2:13 pmI'd like to see more from Ramaswamy, without the inane commentary and without Tucker's facial expressions. I hope to watch the debate on Weds.
What does #9 mean (3 branches of government, not 4). Does this mean that some people are saying there is or should be a 4th?

He is just making a statement about the THREE EQUAL branches of government.
Re: Tucker/Vivek on The Hill - EPIC commentary on Corruption
Interesting Wikipedia entry on the 4th branch of government. Various interpretations.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_br ... government
1. The Press.
2. Grand juries (cites the late Justice Antonin Scalia, who say the grad jury is "a constitutional fixture it it own right")
3. Networks of influencers outside government (e.g.. defense industry, finance, lobbyists)
4. Administrative agencies

Re: Tucker/Vivek on The Hill - EPIC commentary on Corruption
The Press is often referred to as the Fourth Estate. I believe he is saying it should not have the power of a governmental branch, which at this point, they do.gil wrote: ↑Sat Aug 19, 2023 2:13 pmI'd like to see more from Ramaswamy, without the inane commentary and without Tucker's facial expressions.

Watched that whole interview. Smartest candidate in the election. I'd vote for him today.

What happens when the Department of Education is eliminated? Massive hit to school revenues all over the country. Local taxes go up or budgets for schools go down. Or am I missing something?
Oh, and "parents controlling what is taught"? Parents can control what is taught when parents foot the entire bill for K-12 education. I have no kids and I don't want to turn over education to parents as long as I'm paying thousands of dollars in property tax each year for their kids. I want experts, and yes, that includes people with education degrees who are administrators.

If you eliminate the Dept. of Ed all that money you waste paying bureaucrats to do nothing goes to fund the schools...gil wrote: ↑Sun Aug 20, 2023 6:29 pmWhat happens when the Department of Education is eliminated?

Problem is a lot of the "experts" are far left loons hell bent on indoctrination instead of education.

Don't you need an "organization" (in the original sense, bureaucracy) to distribute the money?D-train wrote: ↑Sun Aug 20, 2023 6:44 pmIf you eliminate the Dept. of Ed all that money you waste paying bureaucrats to do nothing goes to fund the schools...gil wrote: ↑Sun Aug 20, 2023 6:29 pmWhat happens when the Department of Education is eliminated?

A friend of mine is an education professor, and I asked her about indoctrination. She just about spit out her wine. She said that her Marxist students stay Marxists, and her Trump supporting student stay Trump supporters. She said that their job (in their certificate and graduate programs) is to prepare professionals who help their own students learn.
