It just that we don't share the same basic premise about how our country should be organized. If you listen to People's Radio you will hear people from the left and the center arguing about what the Federal Government's education policy should be. If some one told them that the Federal Government has no business having an education policy they would look at you as if you were insane and dismiss you as a nut. Same with 90% of their broadcast day. I never listen to them anymore because it's simply irrelevant babble to me.

And there is a self interest driving all national news operations towards the view that all important decision making should be centralizing in D.C. If the Department of Education was disbanded and ALL education issues were decided by states and local school boards, like they are supposed to be, that is a whole topic of conversation gone to the nationals. Why would someone in Delaware care about local schools in Wyoming? They shouldn't be, it's none of their business. Ditto department after department. Say goodbye to 24 hour national news networks. Too much money at stake to ever allow that to happen.
