The secret, top-level process used to create the federal budget for 2016 and 2017 really “stinks,” says Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), who is likely to replace Rep. John Boehner as House Speaker this week. But he did not promise to vote against the $8 trillion plan.

Matt Salmon (R-AZ) was adopted, by a vote of 251-178, that would allow parents to opt their children out of standardized testing.
It’s worth noting that in the half-century since the ESEA was passed as part of Johnson’s “War on Poverty,” billions of dollars have been spent – by both Democrat and Republican administrations – on education and so-called “helpful” programs for “disadvantaged” children, and yet Democrats are still fighting for more federal control and federal programs and subsidies in order to “close the achievement gap.”
