During a Monday session of the House Rules Committee, Democratic Colorado Congressman Joe Neguse illustrates the adage that Republicans constantly complain about how ineffective government is and prove it when they take office. Questioning the Republican head of the House Education Committee, North Carolina’s Virginia Foxx, Neguse lists the issues adversely impacting today’s education environment: poor teacher pay and retention; gun safety; food security; and pandemic-caused learning gaps. And Neguse skillfully notes that Foxx’s committee has yet to present a single bill addressing any of those issues. Later, Neguse goes on to rail on Foxx for bringing numerous bits of legislation to the Rules Committee for consideration that increases the power of the federal Department of Education, an agency Foxx says shouldn’t exist in the first place.
