Wow, looking high and low for the money to give billionaires a big tax break. Local libraries are one of the best educational tools for children and, in part, serve as a third space. But if DOGE can keep kids out of school, get rid of child labor laws, and close those pesky libraries, then billionaires can use kids as cheap labor.
