Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives want to dramatically slash funding for Title I, the long-running federal program that sends money to schools based on the number of children from low-income families that they serve.

A bill advanced by a Republican-controlled House subcommittee on Friday seeks to cut Title I grants by 80% or nearly $15 billion.

Republicans just keep writing the Democrat talking points for the next election.

A mixture of social conservatives voting against "wokeness," unrestricted guns rights and anti-abortion one-issue voters, and people that misguidedly believe the Republicans are better for the economy keep the party chugging along in elections.

Don't forget old people glued to FOX News telling them "Democrats are evil" 24/7.
