In the final days before Trump retakes office, the news media are full of stories about federal spending cuts. Raw Story noted here,
“A CNN analysis found that all 15 of the states that rely most heavily on federal support for public schools in 2022 backed Trump in November, while all but two of the 15 that receive the fewest federal dollars as a percentage of their overall revenue supported Kamala Harris.”
For example,
Tom Gambrel, the superintendent of Bell County, Kentucky, schools, joined most of his neighbors and cast his vote for Trump with his students in mind, but he told CNN that he hopes the president-elect doesn’t carry through with his plan to cut federal education funding. ‘I don’t think that anyone in our county wants to cut our school funding,’ Gambrel said, ‘and I don’t think that anyone voted for that.'”
Yes, he did, and so did most of his neighbors.
