  What a stupid fucking idea. The government exists to provide services in sectors which cannot be profitable and still affordable and useful to taxpayers.

    I think the opposing view says that these things can be provided by private companies or nonprofits

    Take the federal Department of Education, for example. You could easily just let state universities take over and/or form a non-federal alliance of sorts or allow educational businesses or nonprofits to be created to fill in the gap.

    I think that’s what they have in mind

      And then we have no federal standards whatsoever. So schools will decide that there’s no point in teaching mathematics if math teachers are expensive and impacting the bottom line. We’ll have a million different types of education, and absolutely zero unity as a country.
