Why did Trump stop funding for schools • page 1/5 • Off-Topic Discussion • lichess.org

My school is bad enough. We don't get proper lockers we don't even have the PE room and now funding is stopped like I just like feel that this money could like maybe do something but now it's not.

The assumption that "Trump stop[ped] funding for schools" is based upon ... what? Is it being claimed that Trump has stopped all federal funding for schools? If so, where is the proof for that? What can be cited to support such a claim?

It might be helpful for American individuals to determine, with some solid research, where most school funding comes from in the actual school district in which they live.

Frankly, they might find that school districts are more pressed by some decisions made by the BIDEN administration. President Trump has only been in office for a few months. Decisions of the Biden Administration greatly impacted schools for years and are still impacting them.

I'd comment farther, but there are fifty different states, and I don't believe that the sources and amounts of school funding are identical in each of the states or in each of the many, many different school districts.

In many states, school funding comes substantially from the property tax imposed by STATES upon property owners. It's helpful to know about STATE and LOCAL taxation, too. It's usually quite important -- and states differ in how much they tax and how well run they are.

I hope people will always look into the ACTUAL DETAILS of the situation in which they find themselves and will not leap to accept something they hear from a source that may or may not be partisan or well informed.

The federal government does NOT run or fund everything. State and local officials and state (and sometimes local) taxes are important, too.

Not everything that goes right or goes wrong has to do with President Trump, or with ANY former president. Life is much more complicated than it sometimes seems when listening to any one news source or group of like-minded sources.

Also my principal said that the funding was supposed to help schools and might have helped us PE room because he said that he received an email but it was cut off

Where are the fiscally responsible conservatives now that we know that Congressional Budget Office report published Sunday is stating there will be an increase of the deficit by $3.3 trillion over the next decade?

I’m not an apologist for either party. I just did a quick google and found some interesting info in the link below.

One graph seems to indicate our debt doubled from approximately 17.5 in 2015 to a projected 35 trillion in 2025. Truly, this a very simplistic look, but if the numbers are anywhere close to becoming reality, 3.3 trillion in the next decade would certainly be an improvement from the past ten years. But I suppose it depends where the outlook comes from and through which filter(s).

The reports is stating that the --------------------
bill will add $3.3 trillion ---------------------
, not-------------------------
that the debt raise will be limited to that amount.

It's strange that those who were against spending money on wars oversea are now all in for spending money for it.

What "war overseas" are we "all in for" ?

America is not currently at war.

And many in Europe just decided to provide more strongly for their own defense -- which, we hope, will tend to DISCOURAGE future wars.

No, America is not at war. To the contrary, President Trump is trying to bring wars to a halt and stop the risk of nuclear proliferation (which no amount of talking would have helped, had it been allowed to occur).

And, as some may have noticed, Trump's first term was among the most peaceful in recollection.

Golly, how quickly that changed when President Trump left office.

Perhaps it was coincidence.
