The Ever-Expanding Bureaucracy

    Judson Berger's article posted to Foxnews.com and titled "Obama Draws Fire for Proposing New Education Agency to Develop Classroom Gadgets" is of course written from a conservative perspective.  The article details a proposal by President Obama to create a new agency to be called the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Education with the purpose of giving money to companies to create high-tech gadgets for use in school classrooms.  The proposed agency would cost $90 million in its first year of operation.  Many republican Congressmen have voiced their displeasure with the proposal.  The article also points out a recent report released by the Government Accountability Office that found many duplicate programs already in existence in the Department of Education.
