Closing the Department of Education is not about inefficiencies. It is about greed. Just as we saw with Healthcare starting in the Reagan era, we will see the same should this closing occur. The U.S. spends approximately $800 billion annually on K-12 public education. If commercial firms replace the public system, they could tap into this funding through tuition-based models, government subsidies, or direct-to-consumer educational services. A fully privatized system could see the education sector’s value expand beyond $1 trillion. If the entire U.S. education system were privatized, commercial firms could extract $2 to $3 trillion annually when factoring in tuition, technology, standardized testing, corporate sponsorships, and real estate investments.
