Breaking: White House Plans To Merge Education and Labor Departments #Department of Education.

The Trump administration plans to merge the federal departments of Education and Labor.  The proposal is part of a 132-page document outlining a broad restructuring of the federal government. The consolidation would create, within the new department, four subagencies, including one called the American Workforce and Higher Education Administration. The proposal would also create subagencies devoted to K-12 education, research/evaluation/administration, and enforcement.  Here is an NPR story about the proposal.

Here is the plan. Here is statement by Education Secretary DeVoss about the plan.

So what do you think? Is this a solid policy decision to eliminate duplication, or a cynical attempt to lead to the elimination of one or both federal agencies, or something else?
