We're defeating the media by taking their funding sources away? I agree to some extent; PBS lost their funding I guess. But we need to do more. I really hope that Trump and his team have a comprehensive plan to fight back against the media, because they haven't been punished enough yet.

I don't think the Dept. of Ed has been eliminated yet, but supposedly there have been workforce reductions there, which is a good start.

Is there any legitimate reason for unions (of any sort) to still exist? We have laws. If employers don't follow them, they get fined and/or sued. Isn't that good enough?

I'd rather hand my money directly to an attorney, when necessary, then hand it to a union every paycheck.

Which level of government has the power to stop unions? I'm guessing it's the state.

My daughter will finish high school before it ever happens, but I'm hoping that charter schools become an option for my youngest kid.
