I agree, GfinS...

Yeah, it isn't all Bush's faulth that the economy that he handed over to Obama was a gnat's eyelash away from flat-lining... It started with Reagan and everyone since, Slick Willie included, have just let it happen... Bush, however, actively aided in the demise with his tax cuts... Even Alan Greenspan was against them until being called to the Oval Office for some rubber-hose treatment...

That was a fiscally irresponsible move on Bush's part and now we look back and see that those tax cuts didn't produce all them jobs afterall... What created those jobs was borrowed money and the housing market... Not tax cuts...

As for education??? Yeah, it's not "all about" money but there are some basic standards that need to me maintained that does require money... But alot of stuff like things that Michelle Rhee is doing in DC aren't about money but about different systems and methods...

With that said, just assuming that all, or even most, of the money that is going into public education is being wasted is not at all accurate... Most of the money is being spent wisely...
