Great rant, M... You'd think the LEAST the FED's would do would be to make a GED requirement say within 6 months...that would at hopefully eliminate some of the brain-dead slackers. Also that would give the Feds an good opportunity to be able to emphasize the importance of MINIMAL education, instead we're getting a lesson in union job preservation.
