Gov. Lee says, "the state would be equipped to decide how supposed federal funding is spent in the future, according to NBC affiliate WSMV."

Doesn't he understand that the state will get NO funding if the US Dept. of Education is dismantled. It is a way for the new Pres to say he has saved money, not redistribute money.

Back on education, Lee says states are better at spending money than the federal government (and giving it away to corporate buddies). He didn’t really say that last part, but the state processed 41,400 business tax refunds totaling $865 million and spent another $9.2 million to offset tax liabilities, since the Legislature cut the property tax factor in Tennessee’s franchise and excise taxes. The whole shebang could cost up to $1.9 billion by the time it’s done.
