After investigating the Dept. of Education (ED) for a couple years in depth (and writing a book on it), I can't find any reason for there to be a link between education and government to exist except one: research funding.
Every other function of the ED (and associated systems) is better served by other methods (teaching, schooling, funding; anything that has to do with the processing of information and transference of knowledge).
Even in the case of funding of research, there is SO MUCH FUCKERY THERE, in every corner of its structure, that making it work in a meaningful way (even if funded exclusively by the ERS) would take a MONUMENTAL effort. Frankly, it may be impossible. There are just too many conflicts of interest.
They created the whole system (made by Rockefeller et al). It is so deeply intertwined with corporate interests, because that was it's design purpose, that I think the entire concept of what a "corporation" is, and the legal ways by which they operate, would have to be completely dismantled and rebuilt before we could have a chance of building a good system of research connected to the government.
Before we can rebuild the business system, we need to, ubiquitously, understand what our system of "Law" is (a guideline for social grease between citizens who understand that they are the Ultimate Authority of their Jurisdiction), what everyone's Jurisdiction is (that's a little complicated), and what the system of Law is not ("reality" or an authority).
