- 28:03one
- 28:03of
- 28:03the
- 28:03best
- 28:03examples.
- 28:04And
- 28:04that's
- 28:04because

- 28:06under
- 28:06George
- 28:07W.
- 28:07Bush,
- 28:07we
- 28:08saw

- 29:30And
- 29:30I
- 29:31still
- 29:31think
- 29:31that
- 29:31was
- 29:32a
- 29:32mistake.
- 29:32I
- 29:33understand
- 29:33that
- 29:33we
- 29:34have
- 29:34banks
- 29:34in
- 29:34this
- 29:35country
- 29:35that
- 29:35are
- 29:35too
- 29:35big
- 29:36to
- 29:36fail.
- 29:37I
- 29:37don't
- 29:37believe
- 29:37in
- 29:38that.
- 29:40It's
- 29:40a
- 29:40hard
- 29:40one
- 29:41because
- 29:41I
- 29:42don't
- 29:42know,
- 29:42the
- 29:42bailout,
- 29:43it
- 29:43was.
- 29:46I
- 29:46don't
- 29:46know
- 29:46if
- 29:47I
- 29:47hate
- 29:47it,
- 29:47it's
- 29:48a
- 29:48bad
- 29:48move.
- 29:49But
- 29:49also,
- 29:49what
- 29:50else
- 29:50could

- 29:50have
- 29:51done?
- 29:51Yeah,

- 29:57to
- 29:57bail
- 29:58the

- 33:55And
- 33:56that
- 33:56standard
- 33:56deduction
- 33:57itself
- 33:58almost
- 33:59always
- 33:59brings

- 40:03the
- 40:03things
- 40:04I
- 40:04do
- 40:04want
- 40:04to
- 40:04talk
- 40:05about
- 40:05the
- 40:05federal
- 40:05government,
- 40:06specifically
- 40:07with
- 40:08their
- 40:08attack,
- 40:09Trump's
- 40:09administration's
- 40:10attack
- 40:11on
- 40:11the
- 40:11Department
- 40:12of
- 40:12Education.
- 40:14These
- 40:14are
- 40:14the
- 40:15things
- 40:15that
- 40:15the
- 40:15federal
- 40:16government
- 40:16actually
- 40:17has
- 40:18for
- 40:19the
- 40:19Department
- 40:19of
- 40:19Education.
- 40:20These
- 40:20are
- 40:20the
- 40:20things
- 40:20that
- 40:20they
- 40:21actually
- 40:21provide.
- 40:22So
- 40:23the
- 40:23Department
- 40:23of
- 40:24Education
- 40:24at
- 40:24a
- 40:25federal
- 40:25level
- 40:26sets
- 40:27educational
- 40:27policy.
- 40:28So
- 40:29the
- 40:29Education
- 40:30Department
- 40:30helps
- 40:31shape
- 40:31national
- 40:32education
- 40:32policies
- 40:33and
- 40:33guidelines
- 40:33through
- 40:34individual
- 40:34states
- 40:35and
- 40:35school
- 40:36districts,
- 40:36maintain
- 40:37control
- 40:37over
- 40:38curriculum
- 40:38and
- 40:38teaching
- 40:39methods.
- 40:40The
- 40:40federal
- 40:40government
- 40:41has
- 40:41no
- 40:42impact
- 40:42on
- 40:43curriculum
- 40:44ever.
- 40:44Doesn't
- 40:45the
- 40:45states
- 40:46make
- 40:46that
- 40:46decision?
- 40:47And
- 40:47then
- 40:47those
- 40:48decisions
- 40:48filter
- 40:49down
- 40:49to
- 40:50actual
- 40:50individual
- 40:51decisions,
- 40:52even
- 40:52down
- 40:52to
- 40:52your
- 40:53teachers.
- 40:54So
- 40:55the
- 40:55federal
- 40:55government
- 40:55doesn't
- 40:56play
- 40:56a
- 40:56role
- 40:56in
- 40:56that.
- 40:57That's
- 40:57too
- 40:57big
- 40:57of
- 40:58a
- 40:58thing.
- 40:59Distributing
- 41:00federal
- 41:00funds.
- 41:01So
- 41:01it
- 41:01manages
- 41:02federal
- 41:02financial
- 41:03aid
- 41:03programs
- 41:04like
- 41:04the
- 41:04Pell
- 41:04Grants
- 41:05and
- 41:05student
- 41:05loans,
- 41:07funds
- 41:07K12
- 41:08and
- 41:08higher
- 41:08education
- 41:09initiatives
- 41:10and
- 41:10supports
- 41:10special
- 41:11education
- 41:11programs.
- 41:12So
- 41:13they
- 41:13take
- 41:14care
- 41:14of
- 41:14the
- 41:14funding
- 41:15that
- 41:15all
- 41:16of
- 41:16the

- 41:23has
- 41:23definitely
- 41:24said
- 41:24that
- 41:25they

- 41:26interest
- 41:27in
- 41:27trying

- 41:28So
- 41:29the
- 41:29Education
- 41:29Department
- 41:30ensures
- 41:30compliance
- 41:31with
- 41:31federal

- 49:23are
- 49:24Democrats
- 49:24that

- 49:45is
- 49:45that
- 49:45Democrats
- 49:46really

- 50:17would
- 50:17say
- 50:18that
- 50:18they
