Subject: RE: BS: Poverty in the USA
Dickey, look at the Head Start Programs, Bushes poster child for the poor. A couple yrs ago he froze funding. So the program now suffers each yrs as costs for food, teachers, site, facilities & rent increases as well as wages & resources go up. This was the poor program for pre schooling & eduaction. This is the same reason why his "No Children Left Behind" act is a reversal for the poor. It gets worse each year. We are going backwards. Granted this didn't start with him it's been going on for at least a 1/4 of a century.
We were doing better when Crosby was a kid.
