May I point out that rich SOBs have created a market for BMW and Mercedes SUVs. What a wise way to waste energy, pollute the atmosphere, and support global warming. This is far wiser than Head Start or School Lunch programs.
Cary, How ludicrous? The vast majority of SUVs are American or Japanese made and owned by middle income types. If you added up all these vastly rich SOBs, they would probably amount to 0.001% of personal energy consumption.
I've heard GWB state his opinion on education in almost every speech. He claims it is a priority for his administration, as opposed to socialized heath care or gays in the military.
On education, too many American children are segregated into schools without standards, shuffled from grade to grade because of their age, regardless of their knowledge. This is discrimination, pure and simple, the soft bigotry of low expectations. And our nation should treat it like other forms of discrimination: We should end it. One size does not fit all when it comes to educating our children, so local people should control local schools. And those who spend your tax dollars must be held accountable. When a school district receives federal funds to teach poor children, we expect them to learn. And if they don't, parents should get the money to make a different choice. Now is the time to make Head Start an early learning program to teach all our children to read and renew the promise of America's public schools.

Was there any improvement in test scores or education in general under Clinton's watch? NO!
And as far as taxing rich SOBs goes, didn't the democratic party lose the high ground when Clinton pardoned a billionaire tax dodger who renounced his US citizenship and traded oil with Iran, while Iran held US citizens hostage.
Go figure. |
