        What are we paying $20M to protect Betsy Devos from? Learning something?

        She could easily accept $1 for salary and donate the rest to charity, since she claims to love philanthropy so much, and use her own jet, since this is public service. "Only the best people..."

        As a taxpayer this makes me cringe because this money could be going to our schools and children that need it instead!

        Grad students in Poly-Sci & US History will have a field day finding ways to calculate the impact of the current administration’s thievery. Part of the country is literally burning, & this lot is fiddling away.

        It's a credit to Devos that she is even willing to take on such an incredibly dangerous position - we salute the armed forces, firefighters - even astronauts - but running the department of education.......

        Agreed. We could just dissolve the entire US Dept. of Education, and leave the states to manage education affairs. We could save billions.

        $20 million! These are the same folks who didn't want teachers to have tax deductions for their out-of-pocket expenses.😠
