Education Secretary Miguel Cardona botched the saying while addressing the Western Governors Association Winter Meeting

A senior Biden administration official was caught on camera butchering a popular phrase coined by the late former President Ronald Reagan about the federal government's role in the everyday lives of Americans.

"As, I think it was President Reagan said, ‘We’re from the government. We're here to help,'" Education Secretary Miguel Cardona told those gathered at the Western Governors Association Winter Meeting in Jackson Hole, Wyoming on Monday.

The context of his comments centered on the federal government working with state governors on funding priorities related to education, but were drastically different from what Reagan actually said in his often cited quote, which he first uttered during a news conference on Aug.12, 1986.

Omg. Is it possible for someone in that job to be more clueless?

The irony - or perhaps not - is that he meant it exactly the way Reagan was saying it meant.

Don't challenge 'em Sam!

He could give it to AOC.

This is why the Department of Education needs to be scrapped. Education is a local level issue. What works in rural Wyoming doesn't necessarily work in NYC.

That is always going to be the case - and it never makes sense to me that SO MUCH of the discretionary budget is ---

_____Money going to Washington so they can decide which state or jurisdiction gets it BACK, again.
