After teaching high school/college math from 1979 to 2020 and spending the last 4 years as an itinerant tutor, I can testify that the public schools in my county are not teaching grade level math in all grades through 8th. Obama’s Race To The Top required all students to take Algebra I & II as well as Geometry. The records that I see tell me that very few kids leaving 8th grade have the math proficiency needed to start those courses.
We already had one lockdown. We don't need another one. When you say shut down what do you expect? Remote learning? They just don't have school for a year?
I'm not disagreeing with you. Just pointing out some of the rough spots that might need some brainstorming to help sort out.
It's going to take a good deal of time to end the FED, and it's going to take time for families to get out from under debt and be able to go to a single income.
I'm not sure how much you guys are paying in taxes, but mine is no where near equaling a second income.
I think people should go into this with a clear view of what is going on, and not through rose colored glasses. Because once the reality of all this hits, people are going to be angry that it doesn't match their dream.
Whenever these types of topics come up, and anyone mentions something that is less than ideal that should really be discussed, it seems like people get angry and defensive that someone dared mention something that wasn't great for the situation.
That doesn't bode well for the long haul. And I've been around here long enough to know that people have a really hard time dealing with disappointments when things don't turn out like they wanted.
I don't see what is so offensive about wanting people to be prepared for these types of things.
It's not simply the taxes that are making your income not equal a second income, it's the devaluation of the dollar due to fractional reserve banking currency.
When the dollar collapses, and it will, and when the stock market collapses, and it will, that is when I believe Trump and his administration will sweep in and return us to sound money and a tokenized stock market system which will eliminate these problems.
It's going to be rough and it's not going to be easy but you don't need to dismantle something that's already been burnt to the ground.
The solution this time instead of a bailout will be a new system.
In my opinion this is a planned controlled demolition.
One $35 ounce of gold purchased in 1940 still has the same buying power today as it did then. The price didn't go up to $2700, the dollar went down.
I honestly don't see how Trump will be able to end the FED himself. I don't know of any legal avenues that would let him do that. Do you have any insight on that?
Quite frankly, I don't see how he is going to accomplish many of the things he wants to do. It's like everyone has forgotten that he will need to get Congress to work with him on these things. People seem to have just forgotten how our government works.
Republicans had the Oval Office, the House, and the Senate for the first two years of his first term. Even with Republicans being in control of all three, he was still blocked time and time again from getting things done. I don't see how this term will be different. Congress is still full of Democrats, RINOs, and Never-Trumpers who will make it their mission in life to block any and everything he wants done.
I'm not being snarky about any of this. And I'm not dooming. I would honestly appreciate any sort of information showing how he can do all these things legally.
Article 1 section 8 of the Constitution grants Congress The power to coin money.
The Federal reserve isn't apart of the US government In the way most people think it is. It is a privately owned central banking institution. Which by the way Trump put enough appointments on at to control it during his last term.
My guess would be they would use a combination of a few different things like an audit, having an alternative currency ready, and all of this happening in the midst of a dollar collapse.
We would need to repeal the Federal reserve act of 1913. It would take some momentum but Trump is very good at momentum. Pretty much anyone that stands against his agenda this time around is basically promised to get primaried.
I'm going to go ahead and propose another theory: drug-use didn't decline at all during the pandemic, but when reporting of it is left to the already half-absent parents not much gets reported. And now why its gone down recently? Many factors I'm sure... maybe some highlights would be increased work-at-home means more-present parents? Maybe people are starting to see that good solid Christian values might not be so bad after all. List goes on.
Reagan tried the same thing with the Grace Commission. It all went away after the Borg tried to assassinate him.
Once DC gets back on its feet after the inaugural the burocrats will dig in ....drag their feet, blue screen their computers and stop answering their phones and email for the "duration" until Elon et al get tired of knocking all day on stupid and go back out to flyover country.
I don't see shutting down schools as a viable option for anything. We are already fighting a educaton bubble from the Covid shut down. We don't need to exacerbate the rising functionally stupid.

I'm wondering what people will do if they do close the schools down, since it's only free daycare for most of the population.
Not many people can afford to have a stay at home parent to take care of them and do homeschooling. And daycare is stupid expensive.
No, the value of the dollar is shit.
Once we end the fed and outrageous taxes that won't be a problem.
Private schools, charter schools, learning pods and homeschooling will be within reach for single income households.
Education is not the role of government

Suddenly because I disagreed with you I'm somehow angry or defensive?
Lol okay.
I apologize if I misread your emotions on that post.
It's simply a common reaction I've had from others in this type of conversation.

We can't do anything but wait and see, I guess.

I think you're absolutely right in saying the thing that changed was the reporting, not the act. .
I'm just curious, does anyone think Trump is serious about cutting the Department of Education?

Total nonsense you would just bankrupt the parents who would now have to pay child care and have to have someone supervise their teenagers.
