Here’s my prediction for DOGE: Whatever minimal amount of money it may possibly save in the short term will be far exceeded by the ultimate cost of fixing all of the problems it creates. It’s already an epic failure.

For most American families—particularly in rural areas—there are no options but public schools. Not just because of cost or not wanting a parochial school, but because non public schools DON'T EXIST in their area.
