Maybe They'll Learn Something

Your tax dollars at work:

Being placed on hold is boring and oftentimes frustrating. But the Education Department is rocking the hold line -- entertaining and educating callers one call at a time.

Gone is the boring old elevator music that used to play. In its place, callers hear the tunes of "Schoolhouse Rock" while they wait -- "Conjunction Junction" to be exact.

"Fun at the department is back," Deputy Chief of Staff Matthew Yale told ABC News. "We're doing everything we can to enhance the culture of the Department of Education, it needs to be a place of innovation and where we're constantly reminded of our work for students."

The department noted that the hold music is just one of several measures it has taken to liven the spirit of the agency and make it more inclusive, such as a reading series last summer that invited local students to the department to hear stories read by government officials.

I'll vote for the first presidential candidate who vows to eliminate the Department of Education. It's absolutely useless and just sucks up tax dollars for no measurable result.

Perhaps Capitol Hill should change their hold music to "I'm Just a Bill" and maybe they'll learn how those things are supposed to work.
