re:"Name one lie, smart a**. Good luck."

American Spirit:"I guarantee you DC doesn't spend as much on students as a good suburban school. Maybe they have to pay "combat duty" to teachers and more for security, but that's about it. One of DC's biggest problems is it isn't even allowed a congressman so gets no help from the Feds. No vote, no help."

Truth:"A report ...revealed that current per-pupil spending for public schools is virtually as high in the District as it is in any of the 50 states. Specifically, for the school year ending in June 2001, the District spent $10,852 per student, a mere $70 per student behind New York State, the national leader. The District's per-pupil current expenditure exceeded the national average of $7,284 by more than $3,500, or 49 percent.
