The Head Start program is worth having. Be careful about wanting to get rid of everything we have today that is not in the Constituiton. You may get what you are complaining about and it may affect something you want. Nothing about bailing out airlines, nothing about giving billions to foreign countries etc. Leave Head Start alone and it will pay the country back with better people than you will get without it.

The federal government should not even be in this area - read the constitution guys. Get rid of the department and save the money - if the states want it they can increase taxes and offer the program that their citizens desire, or not. This is a waste of federal tax funds- that does not mean the program is not of value. However, the determination of whether or not to have the program should be at a more local level. My guess is that it is a relatively low priority for most states and the states cannot fund their higher priorities because the feds take the citizens money and fund this stuff at the federal level and circumvent the states. Of course some association in Washington DC knows best for everyone in the country and the local leaders are not the place to put the decisions because the people in Washington would be without a job.
