Eliminating the Dept of Ed & employing 13yr olds in meat packing plants = living paycheck to paycheck, in perpetuity.
Reagan forgets the GI Bill opened up college attendance to veterans since WW2 when fed & states supported hi ed, lowering tuition.
No wonder he vowed to shrink fed govt he believed subsidized the riff-raff attending college, even tho Morrill Acts aided states, too.
