You do realize that states will get block grants for education and they'll decide what's best for their schools in their states? What it should have been all along.

What functions of the USDOE that aren't carried out at the state or local levels will we miss if the USDOE is closed?
The only thing that I've read will continue at the Federal level is student loans. May be more but that's what I read. And it will be up to each state. I know when Bush was in office they had "No Child Left Behind." I used to pick up from small rural high schools in Texas that treated the outgoing FedEx letter with results for that program like it was a bomb they were trying to get off their hands before it exploded. Poorer states might have an easier time not meeting Federal demands on their time and resources. The Department of Education was created by Carter in 1980. I can't see that adding that level of bureaucracy has improved education nationwide.

Tariffs on chips, phones, laptops still coming, commerce secretary warns
Trump officials adjusted their position a little more than one day after the White House announced an exemption from “reciprocal” tariffs for semiconductors and tech products."U.S. levies on semiconductor chips — which the White House exempted late Friday from a slew of “reciprocal” tariffs — are in fact still the works, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and other top Trump administration officials asserted Sunday.
Lutnick said tariffs on semiconductors will be decided through an industry-specific tariff model and imposed via Section 232, which governs national security-related tariffs and requires a lengthy process for study and comment.
The Trump administration has previously cited 232 as a potential avenue for semiconductor tariffs. But the latest messaging twist could cause further whiplash for the tech sector, which had breathed a sigh of relief after the tech exemption was announced, hoping that semiconductors might remain somewhat unscathed from Trump’s trade war."

President Donald Trump's Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick suggested Sunday that the reciprocal tariff exemptions for some electronics may be short-lived, and said separate tariffs for these products are "coming soon."
"They're exempt from the reciprocal tariffs, but they're included in the semiconductor tariffs, which are coming in probably a month or two," Lutnick said on ABC News' "This Week."
"So this is not like a permanent sort of exemption. [Trump's] just clarifying that these are not available to be negotiated away by countries," he said.

Trump Commerce chief fuels tariff confusion, says exemptions for phones, computers not permanent
Financial markets have been whipsawed as the Trump administration has changed tariff plans.
I wonder if things wouldn't be so volatile if Trump had just announced a 5% tariff on all imports. If other countries want to access our market they should have to pay something. I realize that means most likely a 5% bump up for our consumers but government revenue has to come from somewhere to address the national debt. Maybe earmark all tariff money for the debt. More or less a Federal sales tax. Just wondering, don't shoot me.
