The Department of Education is one of those “feel good” federal agencies that simply don’t solve the problem that they were created to fix.

We have turned into an entitlement society, caring not that government does not create wealth but only takes it.
The more money government throws into the Department of Education, the higher prices for Education will rise. this includes student loans and subsides.
