In response to:
I kind of agree with you, but you forget private enterprise also invests in itself...the ones that do not usually fail or get bailed out like the auto companies......the govt. needs to find a balance of investment and cuts...right now they are just fighting, blindly cutting and blindly increasing taxes......
We've been hearing for days now about the major damage $85 billion in sequester cuts will do to the country however, during an Oversight and Government Reform hearing on Capitol Hill Tuesday, representatives from the Education and Transportation Departments were clueless as to how much money has been spent on department conferences.
Republican Rep.

Eliminate the Dept of Education. The FEDERAL gov't should stay out of education. That is best handled by the states. The Federal gov't should cut spending and reduce taxes.
