So what do you propose - make parents pay for education? In other words, raise taxes on families? Does that seem right?

Better than Hitler, I suppose. Well, Hitler didn't do as much damage to the United States. But I don't think Reagan did it on purpose. So I'll give him that. More charity than Obama's foes seem willing to extend.

Now Bill John, one of our City fathers, told me once,

"If you can't say nuttin' nice about a CAAK.....r, then you shouldn't say nuttin' about the SOB at all".

Wise words indeed, and he didn't let them stand in his way.

But I, for one, will take his advice, and say.............

Lmao!!

Eddie, instead of a knee jerk reaction to anything that might impact the NEA and janitors union one teenie bit maybe we should be at least trying new ideas. What they are, I don't know, but those poor women crying know they don't want their kids forcibly warehoused in a failed (and expensive!) system.

I find it interesting that the 'champions of the poor' look at these sad folks and tell them there's no hope.

That coupled with the enormous tuition increases and malpractice insurance. Can't say if this is fact...but I have no reason to disbelieve. How many foreign doctors have you come in contact with?

In the last job they offered an PPO option in the health insurance and a coworker leaned over and whispered "I bet all those doctors are listed in the Iranian Medical Association." He may have been right.

I'm not the one saying there's no hope. I'm not the one saying the schools can't be fixed. Still waiting for you plan to solve the problem.
