I'm going to try to give him the benefit of the doubt. (Although I think the answer of 'he doesn't know what he's talking about' is probably accurate)

He may mean that X amount of money goes to the DOE, but only Y goes to the schools. From what I understand, they think that eliminating the staff of the DOE will bring Y closer to X, since they won't have to pay those people anymore. By dumping the responsibilities on to other depts, they can keep paying those people the same to do more work, and the total cost of business will go down.
