Washington (Nexstar) – The former CEO of WWE was the Minister of Education Linda McMahon in the ring on Tuesday afternoon.
She asked questions from Democrats and Republicans on the Capitol Hill when the Trump government drives extensive cuts in educational financing.
The educational secretary defended the Trump administration’s application to shorten over $ 67 billion in the budget of the Ministry of Education next year.
The pressure puts alarms from both sides of the gang.
“They shake the educational opportunities in the United States for an entire generation and more,” said Senator Jack Reed (Dr.I.).
The Democrats seemed amazed when McMahon defended the cuts of the Ministry of Education on Tuesday.
“There are now programs for mental health for children that are closed,” said Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.).
McMahon went to spoe with the senators for hours. She says that the President’s promise will make sure that governors and parents, not the federal government, have the last word in the training of her child.
“We have spent 3 US dollars in our country since 1980 when this department has been set up and our results continued to drop. We do nothing right,” said McMahon.
Since the president took office with the facilitate of Elon Musk, the staff of the agency and the Frozen program financing has disappointed.
The White House is now calling for a budget cut of 15%, but even Republicans seem to be uneasy with some of the cuts.
The trio program is to be removed in the President’s budget request. Funding helps countless students with low income on college.
While the senators Susan Collins and Shelly Moore Capito argue that the program is a worthy investment, McMahon says that there is no data so that Trio like many other federal investments.
“I just think we can’t see the effectiveness on the entire board,” said McMahon.
