I will say I believe this 3 term trend of EA's is not ideal, and now the future of incoming presidents is just going to be 124234321423 executive orders immediately, which you have to imagine your opposition is going to take that seat again, its inevitable.

Trump's initial term had significantly more than average, than Briden took it to the next level with EA's and now Trump is taking it to a new level again.

Agreed, but the only alternative is abolishing the filibuster in the Senate, and even then, the seesaw would simply shift from EO's to actual legislation.

As long as there is a heavily polarized two-party system in which the two sides have almost diametrically opposing visions for the country and nearly identical political strength, the seesaw will inevitably continue.

The only way to end this would be one side being able to achieve a true breakthrough for their vision via a proper landslide victory, similar to what FDR, LBJ or Reagan achieved.

If they pull it off in the fashion you describe without undermining accessibility and quality of public education in favour of private institutions, that'd be a pleasant surprise

I just don't think the guy that has doge employees working 120 hours a week has your best interests in mind

You don't think rich elitest narcissistic billionaires that neglect their own children have your best interests in mind overall?

Fuckin idiot.

Nope, I think they're going to push some kind of christian bullshit all along if that institue is going to be saved somehow. It would be best to abolish that institution alltogether and let the states take care of the education. If you have a majourity progressive voters in New York and they want their kids educated their way so be it. Parents in conservative states can have their coservative education. No need to indoctrinate kids with political agendas no matter how much of a "good reason" there is,.

I also hate the idea of education vouchers. What of it? I live in Texas there has been a war on Public schools here way before I worked in one.

We spend more dollars per child on education and consistently rank low when compared to other developed nations. The issue by the left has always been framed around money "we need more money for the kids", when it's obviously BS because if we spend so much we would have the best educated kids.

It's not the money, it's how that money has been allocated. Huge rise in administrator functions while teacher/student ratios haven't changed. The voucher system will force public schools to 'get good'. Another example of how free flowing unlimited funds have resulted in stagnation. So much of the current system needs to be tore down and re-worked. We need reform to the studs for efficiencies to be built and these current stagnant systems will fight tooth and nail to remain. That's why you're seeing so much opposition to DOGE.

They really haven't touched much so far, but these systems understand that they're being threatened, while dumb people will focus on Trump, Elon, whatever other single person and miss the whole point here. The drivers of the change are irrelevant, change itself is what's critically important.

You were a chemical / contaminants cleaner just a year ago and that's what you had spent your past years doing. If I recall you also said you owned an HR company.


Now you have been in education for years? This is an odd arc my friend.

I also got injured and was unable to work in that field anymore remember? I was also a bagger of groceries. I’ve been a Social Worker as well.
