And a lot of the supporters of this administration's supporters only seem to like it because it hurts the people they hate beyond reason. Then again they would probably burn down their own houses if they thought it could somehow hurt or upset people.
It shouldn't feel true but it does. If Devos has her way the very people screaming "take that snowflakes" are the very ones who will be effected heaviest. It's reminiscent of the Titanic all over again, you know what life boats are for and that they can save your life..... but because a Democrat suggested it, they would rather drown than use it.
And when her crap leads to public schools going to shit (or in the case my old high school M520, going [further] to shit), she will demand that they be closed down because "the students left her no choice." It won't matter what the local school board thinks. It won't matter what the mayor, governor or senator thinks. Hell, it won't matter what the parents or teachers think. She'll just shift all of the funding to charter schools and lump all the blame of the failing public schools on the shitty students.
DeVos looks, sounds, and behaves like she was built for Disney. She's animatronic, like that damn Lincoln show off Main Street USA. Her smile stays the same, no matter what. What comes out of her mouth is pre-programmed, so it's like having a conversation with the "speaking clock" on the phone: she's gonna say the same shit, and predictably, no matter how you phrase a question. I swear, you can hear the whirring of the gears when she moves her head! She's a Stepford Wife with political connections.
That's a great point... Isn't she the one who is supposed to be getting MORE money for education and then Congress try to deny it or maybe give her less money than she asks for... No she's right out the gate saying take money FROM education, please make it worse, lets have less teachers, let's cut their pay and close schools and have fewer text books, desks and supplies.
Thank you Betsy Devos and Tom Cole for giving me so many options for education and letting me choose between $20 thousand, $30 thousand, and $40 thousand dollars per year private schools.
Betsy DeVos knows what she's doing as far as she understands her actual goal here. This is her dream job, because she wants to eventually get rid of public schools in America. She doesn't like public schools. She's been activating against them, in some ways successfully, for a while now and this is not new for her. Her goal when she entered this position was to cripple public schools and, if she can manage it, entirely privatize education. The kids that hurts along the way, well maybe she feels kinda bad about them and maybe she doesn't, maybe she honestly thinks her way will be more beneficial to them and so you could argue that in some ways she doesn't truly understand the ramifications of her goal, but she's not doing this out of ignorance and being unaware of what her job is or unaware of what to do in her new position. She got into this with one goal in her mind and one goal only, and that was to destroy public schools as much as she could and promote private schools and voucher programs in their place. Now, as far as what I think about her potential ignorance of the ramifications to actual kids as a result of this goal if she were to meet it? While I can see where someone may be coming from when they say she's ignorant of that, I don't personally think so. I think she's one of the Haves and if the children of Have Nots get hurt, well that's just too bad for them. Poor kids, minority kids, lgbtq+ kids, etc. She doesn't really care about them because she has no real connection to them and some of them she probably doesn't really like very much anyway. And I absolutely agree with something Ana said in a different video about DeVos and her voucher programs. The second they have finally privatized education and completely gotten rid of public education in America, those voucher programs are going to disappear. Poor parents who have trouble paying for tuition will be told to find their bootstraps and pull them on up, will be admonished for being lazy and blamed for forcing their kids to suffer. Large swaths of children will just simply go uneducated and/or will be taken away from their parents for "refusing" to send them to schools they were barred from due to inability to pay (if they keep schooling mandatory, which is iffy too because every once in awhile Republicans make rumblings about reducing the age where kids are allowed to drop out of school or just getting rid of the mandatory rule altogether. If education in America was fully privatized, or even just the vast majority gets to that point, then I bet that will be next). Republicans don't care about poor people. To them, poor people are all just lazy, disgusting creatures who should be kept away from them and their rich friends and kids so as not to contaminate the wealthy. Rich people are for keeping the country going, while poor people should be nothing more than servants erased and marginalized and forgotten in the background. Seen but not heard.
Kevin S - See, this is why I don't get these cuts. Spending on education should be treated like investing on the future. An educated workforce is a necessity, not an option. With the way jobs are being mechanised, it's going to be even more important. Education is a right, not an entitlement nor is it a luxury.
No teacher wages, no buses ,no school of the arts , no sciences, no before school drop off , no after school programs, for parents that both work just to meet minimum wage
You know these Republican always talk about how it's important that government should govern as little as possible but honestly, I think it's just their excuse to sit on their asses and get pay for doing nothing
The problem is that we are treating people with dignity that have no dignity. Nobody cares about anything unless it affects them. Betsy Devos is rich..she is and will always be out of touch with the common folks. Her money shields her from reality!
What I fear is they are pushing the American people, in general, to be less competitive in the global market and not just internationally but also domestically. I also fear that future jobs will require a level of education, skills, training and critical thinking that if the general population isn't receiving, less opportunities mean greater crime and hence turning the US back 400 years. I believe if this persists, America will see more jobs being lost to international competition because other countries are aggressively educating their citizens not just to be educated or workers but to be entrepreneurs, innovators and creating start ups that add to their economy. I truly support the endeavors I see Obama, Colin K and so many other philanthropic organizations pushing for not just job creation but education, community collaboration, critical thinking, analytics, etc. News like this simply makes me want to further return to the US and support what I can to help people thrive in spite of the mounting obstacles they are attempting to put in place.
As a Republican I hated the nomination of Betsy DeVos. I felt there was better choices like Dr. Christine Frazier, Dr. Tom Torlakson, and Dr. Paul E. Peterson
Educate people and you will loose power. Cut aggressively and you'll enrich the donors and keep your power. Politics is not about serving, it's about power. Politics 101.
What did you guys expect when her husband is a multi level marketing scam heir billionaire and her brother is the owner of backwater. Drain the swamp my ass.
It's been awhile since I watched TYT, decided to come back and check out the shows and the new people. Sue-Ann Robinson needs to eliminate the word "like" from her vocabulary. At least while she is on air. She makes some amazingly salient points, but when like it like sounds like this like no one like listens to like what like she's like saying. Put an intern behind the camera with a whiteboard and have him tally up every time she says like. Please.
Ok, off topic here. A few years ago my mother was having a legal fight; against the hospital here where I live in Ott, ONT, Canada, where the health care is not all sunshine and rainbows, as everyone makes it out to be (it could be worse... duh), because they would refuse to treat my grandfather, and I will try not mention the bountiful malpractice they had engaged in (this is me trying to make things short and failing...). Anyways, so it ends up in this kind of mock court, where they have these three employees of the hospital acting as the judge and jury and it feel like my mother was that woman saying how unjust this was and how she would fight it with every fiber of her being, (however my mother is quite a bit more sophisticated then I, and very studious, and had valid legal argument to be made), and the Doc was so incompetent, he stated something he read that morning as a major backbone for his case, and the judge members where like that guy just kissing his ass. Also, the judge members told my mother she had to have copies for everyone if the evidence was to be taken in, and the Doc had not even one copy let alone copies for everyone. So this is vague enough for you? if you interested I can get into more details, this happened some time ago, my grandfather died and its been 3 years or so, my mother is still in court fighting them for no compensation, only to make sure this sort of thing does not happen to anyone else, and for herself, to fee as tho justice is being done I think. One more thing, the Doctor had already stopped treatment, illegally, but was in court to get permission to stop treatment, with it he wanted to stop feeding my grandfather and let him pass away, it sounds so sick just thinking about it.
Nah Sis she completely understands what she's doing. She wanted that post to do EXACTLY what she's doing now...gutting public education because she thinks education is a privilege for the rich.
It's not just poor kids who will be affected. Students could be open to discrimination and she will not bat an eyelash about it. She will stand by her mantra of 'parents have a choice' where they send their kids.
So.... where is the money going if it's not going into the public schools? This is a sad sad country. We have gone from top tier to bottom of the barrel.
"Learning on the job" might be ok for a McDonalds employee, not a government position which has a huge effect on the well-being and future of millions.
This is the pattern: 1) Defund a government institution to throw it into crisis 2) Point at it and proclaim it an utter failure 3) Propose to privatize it because only for-profit industry can run a program efficiently 4) Slash all unprofitable services and milk the federal government for funding. It's a self-fulfilling prophesy that will be taken advantage of to ensure that we all pay more to a private company for less service.
It is fundamentally inappropriate for religious schools to be supported by federal funds. Additionally, charter schools may morph our society more completely into a class dominated culture.
Students in private schools perform better on average because of the population they serve. If they were requried to educate students with special needs, ESL students and students from poverty; the nation would understand the superiority of the public education system in addressing the needs of all students.
The problem is that Betsy Devos does not understand what it is like to live in poverty, so she can't fathom nor care about underprivileged people and their circumstances.
While her complaint was certainly legitimate, the woman wasn't very articulate. She was emotive and didn't have a clear message and should have had some figures to show how the cuts would directly affect education.
I think its even simpler that Ana suggests. Some powerful people see public education as competition to their business because it is FREE. That's it. These people want to others to pay them in order to provide education to their children, which is something most if not all parents fundamentally want for their children. Free and funded public education is business competition.
It's about the $. Diverting money to private providers, yes, but once they can provide vouchers they will start financing the difference between vouchers and tuition. It'll be bigger money than higher ed financing.
Spending on education has steadily been going up while test scores get worse. The problem isnt the amount of money, its where the money goes. I.e teachers unions, bad teachers and bad schools.
Whoa trying to break a monopoly of government education? I can see where a congresswoman who's been in power for so many years and happens to be one of the 50 richest, would be threatened by that.
It is WRONG to pass these crimes off as ignorance. DeVos KNOWS exactly what she is doing. It isn't a mistake, she is EVIL.
exactly
Agreed, people like her and our President are not only evil but dangerously stupid. Perhaps it's unfair but I lay this Presidency at the feet of Christians... the gullible ones. Ask every Trump supporting Christian this, "in your Bible, the love of what is the root of *ALL* evil?".
The embodiment of the banality of evil.
Jeremy Hyde the new young lady clearly did not do her homework, her remarks are not fact based.
I offically add her to the list of Evil.
Trump (a legit idiot)
Paul Ryan (A ultra loyal slave to the donors)
Mitch O'Connell (The man who everyone hates but never goes away)
Betsy.....(Anti Public school Fundamentalist)
Sadly, Devos couldn't give two fucks what any of us think.
macross25 yup... DeCunt thinks it's funny...
And a lot of the supporters of this administration's supporters only seem to like it because it hurts the people they hate beyond reason. Then again they would probably burn down their own houses if they thought it could somehow hurt or upset people.
It shouldn't feel true but it does. If Devos has her way the very people screaming "take that snowflakes" are the very ones who will be effected heaviest. It's reminiscent of the Titanic all over again, you know what life boats are for and that they can save your life..... but because a Democrat suggested it, they would rather drown than use it.
And when her crap leads to public schools going to shit (or in the case my old high school M520, going [further] to shit), she will demand that they be closed down because "the students left her no choice." It won't matter what the local school board thinks. It won't matter what the mayor, governor or senator thinks. Hell, it won't matter what the parents or teachers think. She'll just shift all of the funding to charter schools and lump all the blame of the failing public schools on the shitty students.
If Trump would shoot someone on 5th Ave., let it be Betsy deVos!
DeVos looks, sounds, and behaves like she was built for Disney. She's animatronic, like that damn Lincoln show off Main Street USA. Her smile stays the same, no matter what. What comes out of her mouth is pre-programmed, so it's like having a conversation with the "speaking clock" on the phone: she's gonna say the same shit, and predictably, no matter how you phrase a question. I swear, you can hear the whirring of the gears when she moves her head! She's a Stepford Wife with political connections.
Leonard Schneider
a stepford wife with political connections..... damn hell of a comment
That's a great point... Isn't she the one who is supposed to be getting MORE money for education and then Congress try to deny it or maybe give her less money than she asks for... No she's right out the gate saying take money FROM education, please make it worse, lets have less teachers, let's cut their pay and close schools and have fewer text books, desks and supplies.
pressure and criticize DeVos until she resigns.
I'm glad there are four adults up there for this panel. No mindless ranting.
she knows exactly what she's doing she's creating a slave class
RANDOM MAY the middle class and poor are slaves already.
Yeah, but DeVos is making them complacent slaves! People who WON'T fight back against the tyranny!
Terrible what she is doing ,
Thank you Betsy Devos and Tom Cole for giving me so many options for education and letting me choose between $20 thousand, $30 thousand, and $40 thousand dollars per year private schools.
There are some jobs that it is not OK to learn as you go, like parachuting, bomb disposal, and how about running a country.
Chris J Hey. No one's disposing of my kind. BOOM!

And Carson says "poverty is a mindset"
She's for making herself and others, rich.
Rosa thank you for standing for the people!
She knows exactly what she's doing. Sue-Ann Robinson giving her the benefit of the doubt doesn't help anybody.
Wow. She said it. Amazing!
Sue-Ann, you need to stop being so generous to these people. They know exactly what they are doing.
Beside Jeff Sessions, Betsy Devos is the worst
My country spent 15% of our national budget on education... what percentage of the US annual budget is spent on education?
LoneRiderz 2%
Kevin S - See, this is why I don't get these cuts. Spending on education should be treated like investing on the future. An educated workforce is a necessity, not an option. With the way jobs are being mechanised, it's going to be even more important. Education is a right, not an entitlement nor is it a luxury.
I completely agree with you. Unfortunetely, most of our politicians and especially Betsy Devos dont see it that way.
he said she has proved throughout her life that she cares for education, can he provide any evidence of this statement?
lol she's unique, love the energy
No teacher wages, no buses ,no school of the arts , no sciences, no before school drop off , no after school programs, for parents that both work just to meet minimum wage
You know these Republican always talk about how it's important that government should govern as little as possible but honestly, I think it's just their excuse to sit on their asses and get pay for doing nothing
Thank you Betsy for showing us your true colors for who you really are, and for what you stand for. You will reap what you sow
They have the fired her . Talking to mutch .
The problem is that we are treating people with dignity that have no dignity. Nobody cares about anything unless it affects them. Betsy Devos is rich..she is and will always be out of touch with the common folks. Her money shields her from reality!
i enjoy sue anne's commentary, i hope to see her on tyt more
Sue-Ann Robinson needs to take the word "like" from her discourse.
What I fear is they are pushing the American people, in general, to be less competitive in the global market and not just internationally but also domestically. I also fear that future jobs will require a level of education, skills, training and critical thinking that if the general population isn't receiving, less opportunities mean greater crime and hence turning the US back 400 years.

Depressing week for TYT videos. Every single one makes me depressed. Can't the FBI catch trump already??
Kenneth Elliott we will get pence alot worse
The real key to power is education!!
She understands what she's doing. This was the plan all along.
As a Republican I hated the nomination of Betsy DeVos. I felt there was better choices like Dr. Christine Frazier, Dr. Tom Torlakson, and Dr. Paul E. Peterson
Educate people and you will loose power. Cut aggressively and you'll enrich the donors and keep your power. Politics is not about serving, it's about power. Politics 101.
DeLauro is 74 and rocking the Punk hairdo. How can you not love this person.
Keep it up TYT!
💜Much love family 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

What did you guys expect when her husband is a multi level marketing scam heir billionaire and her brother is the owner of backwater. Drain the swamp my ass.
O I think she understands completely she's just benefiting somehow
Beast mode!
Um, I thought DeLauro was pretty fired up...too nice? Huh?
What has the US become....................
JOHN KERRY IN DISGUISE ? LOL. Besides that she spoke right !!
btw that graphic in the back, would be an awesome on a t-shirt
They want choice and their rich kids to go to high end schools and not be forced to blend in with others
that cut is only 1/10th of what the Wal-Mart family will get in tax breaks.
I am so glad I got educated in Canada.

Rosa De Laura doing CT proud as usual
Ben Mankiewicz needs his own show on the network
Nah Sis she completely understands what she's doing. She wanted that post to do EXACTLY what she's doing now...gutting public education because she thinks education is a privilege for the rich.
Betsy Devos does know what she is doing, she just doesn't care.
DeLauro was fairly honest.
Well-to-do Congresspersons and the wealthy will not be hurt Trump's budget.
.
She knows exactly what she's doing and it's to help her own charter schools.
That’s my girl!!!!
She's knows exactly what she is doing
Betsy DeVos knows exactly what she's doing.
It's not just poor kids who will be affected. Students could be open to discrimination and she will not bat an eyelash about it. She will stand by her mantra of 'parents have a choice' where they send their kids.
So.... where is the money going if it's not going into the public schools? This is a sad sad country. We have gone from top tier to bottom of the barrel.
"Learning on the job" might be ok for a McDonalds employee, not a government position which has a huge effect on the well-being and future of millions.
You'd have thought the first story today would've been Nevada voting yes on the convention.
She did say what it would do to poor people.
Wrong...DeVos knows what exactly she's doing...
Let's dispel the notion that Betsy DeVos doesn't know what she's doing; she knows exacly what she's doing.
This is the pattern: 1) Defund a government institution to throw it into crisis 2) Point at it and proclaim it an utter failure 3) Propose to privatize it because only for-profit industry can run a program efficiently 4) Slash all unprofitable services and milk the federal government for funding. It's a self-fulfilling prophesy that will be taken advantage of to ensure that we all pay more to a private company for less service.
Sue-Ann fine as all out doors ! Bright and Bad love it!!
She should run with Bernie in 2020
Tom Cole is from Oklahoma, which is the worst state in the country when it comes to cutting education spending.
That smug look on her face knowing she's backed by billionaires. She's got a rude awakening once your base realizes how bad you're screwing them over.
Just love Rosa DeLauro
bruh... if I hear "Like" one more time...
A 9 billion dollar cut for education and a 9 billion dollar gain for the military industrial complex and tax cuts for the wealthy.
You know there's something wrong when you start saying "John McCain save us."
DeVos PAYED for the position in order to further her PRIVATE PROFIT interests. Acting like shes naive to the negatives is SHAMEFUL!
HBC? what has the Hudson's Bay Company got to do with US education?
Definitely, DeVos is the real life Dolores Umbridge.
It is fundamentally inappropriate for religious schools to be supported by federal funds. Additionally, charter schools may morph our society more completely into a class dominated culture.
Students in private schools perform better on average because of the population they serve. If they were requried to educate students with special needs, ESL students and students from poverty; the nation would understand the superiority of the public education system in addressing the needs of all students.
Betsy got that let me talk to the manager haircut 😂
delauro went batshit crazy
CT! ✊🏾
How is this even a discussion?
who does she think she is taking to Betsy is smarter than everyone else that's why she is education secretary
The problem is that Betsy Devos does not understand what it is like to live in poverty, so she can't fathom nor care about underprivileged people and their circumstances.
This is looking like a horror movie with a very bad ending...
Budget cuts to education will have many devostating effects for years to come.
While her complaint was certainly legitimate, the woman wasn't very articulate.
She was emotive and didn't have a clear message and should have had some figures to show how the cuts would directly affect education.
ulterior motives
Education is so stretched out as it is already and this is what I expected from DeVos. I think DeVos knows exactly what she is doing also.
Tom Cole giving Devos a Participation Award.
They won't be happy until every cent from the hard working American worker is in their pockets...
I think its even simpler that Ana suggests. Some powerful people see public education as competition to their business because it is FREE. That's it. These people want to others to pay them in order to provide education to their children, which is something most if not all parents fundamentally want for their children. Free and funded public education is business competition.
lets dispel this notion that betsy devos doesnt know she's doing. she knows EXACTLY what she's doing!
This representative has some slammin' hair for a senior citizen.
It's about the $. Diverting money to private providers, yes, but once they can provide vouchers they will start financing the difference between vouchers and tuition. It'll be bigger money than higher ed financing.
Get this guy out of office Ben? And then what? Pence is going to make a big difference I'm sure. He's not far right at all.
Government: The only job where you are allowed to sabotage your very position/department and STILL get to keep your job.
Spending on education has steadily been going up while test scores get worse. The problem isnt the amount of money, its where the money goes. I.e teachers unions, bad teachers and bad schools.
She bought her way into being the secretary of education. I think it's safe to say she knows how government works.
Whoa trying to break a monopoly of government education? I can see where a congresswoman who's been in power for so many years and happens to be one of the 50 richest, would be threatened by that.
