Democratic Congressional leaders wrote a stern letter to Betsy DeVos, rebuking her for turning coronavirus relief funds into cash for vouchers. They are acting in the belief that Congress decides how money is to be spent and defines who should receive federal funding.
Betsy DeVos really doesn’t care what Congressional leaders say or do. She considers herself superior to Congress because she is a billionaire. She buys senators and members of Congress. She thinks of them as the household help. They appropriate the money and she decides how to spend it. How dare they try to tell HER what to do!
Read the letter here.
The arrogance of unaccountable wealth and power. She is DeBos.
That’s the most apropos moniker for her yet.
DeVoodoo is another tRUMP, but wears a skirt.
DeVos has always seemed contemptuous of “lessers” including members of Congress. She feels as though her own judgment is superior to letter of the law or policies which she chooses to ignore. The education secretary says many students who were defrauded by for-profit colleges don’t deserve full relief from their loans. If she gets away with shifting public money into vouchers in this pandemic, it will set a harmful precedent that may be used to further undermine public schools. She is a lawless, rogue ideologue.
The only valuable part of the letter is the publication of the names of the staff and members of Congress who have an interest in how the money is being spent. That information is at the end of the letter.
People who read and pay attention to details really bug me! 🤣
