Well, "No Child Left Behind" was okay... Not great but better than nuthin'... Too bad that Bush refused to write the checks that the bill called for... Had he funded "No Child Left Behind" then it might have had better results...

Other than that, I can't think of anything to say positive about the legislation that the Bush administration pushed that was worth pushing, including the DHS, which of course, was a dem idea that Bush took up and pushed...

As for what the Dems were able to get thru the Repub minefield on health care reform??? Yeah, it beats a blanka nd is at least a beginning to what can one day work to bring down our health care costs of the current 17% of GNP closer to the 8% of GNP of our industrialized nation competitors... And maybe even get US some better health in doing so??? But, yeah, it is a work in progress but...

...it's on the books and even if the Repubs take back control of Congress they won't have the kind of majority it would take to undo it... Of course they have their secret weapon: The Supremes who have been in the legislative mood of late...
