Education Secretary Linda McMahon said the federal shutdown offers evidence that her agency is “unnecessary.”
In a social media post on Wednesday, McMahon said the shutdown has forced agencies to evaluate what work is really needed. She made the comment days after her department started firing hundreds of workers amid mass layoffs across the government.
“Two weeks in, millions of American students are still going to school, teachers are getting paid, and schools are operating as normal,” McMahon said.



Two weeks in and life in America continues. Sounds like Congress is unnif the government has been shut down for two weeks and everything is fine, that means the government in its entirety is unnecessary then. So let’s get rid of everyone from top to bottom. From the president down. Give that a spin for awhile.
