I'm confused by this statement. What does "send more money back to the states" mean? Does the US have federal schools or something? Isn't the federal government paying for state run schools already sending money back to the states?
You’re not confused, the quoted person just doesn’t know how anything works. They’re a Republican voter, after all
The quote is from Tennessee State House Rep. Todd Warner, though I'm sure they do vote Republican.
Thanks for keeping me honest; that’s what I get for not checking the source of the quote
