RE:"Bush Seeks $1.6 Billion More for Schools in 2002 dailynews.yahoo.com Wow! One day's interest payments on his daddy's debt is going to go to the schools. What a wonderful family. Wasn't daddy Bush the "education president"? You Republicans are so far out of whack, I'm not sure there is any way to straighten you out. ---- Do you have a problem with $1.6 Billion more for education? For me it basically depends on what they do with it. I'm for mandatory testing early on. One reason I like Bush over Gore. Why didn't you say anything when Clint & Hillary ran up about $1 Billion in travel junket expenses for trips? That's OK though? Jim

From your own link Scumbria, President George W. Bush (news - web sites) on Wednesday proposed a $1.6 billion, 8 percent increase in funding for elementary and secondary schools next year, as part of an overall $4.6 billion boost to the education department budget. So that $1.6 bil is only the increase for elementary and secondary schools. It represents an 8% increase over what Clinton spent and its part of a larger $4.6bil increase. School are mostly a local and state responsibility anyway. White House spokesman Scott McClellan said the department was slated for an 11.5 percent increase in discretionary spending, The overall Education Dept. increase is 11.5%. What do you think he should do? Increase it 50% in one year? Tim
