The no child left behind act is in its entirety a good idea. But with all good ideas come the bad men running it. It wasn't a total flunk though, Bush is trying to integrate pel-grants to inner city families for kids with protential to take them out of a failing public school into a Private school, religious or otherwise.
There was one line during his Speech that really got to me, but I feel he said this with the knowledge of his timeline as President.
"If American citizens have to budget their money so should their government." (something to that degree)
Honestly though tipsy, a well educated man, or woman I am not sure, such as yourself can see that bush is not to blame for the economy. It is the greed of the rich which has helped, not completely but helped, dig the whole of this economic slump. Such as I said earlier it is Natural progression of human psyche and logic.
We get attacked--- we go to war--- we raise taxes for the war--- the rich business men of this country outsource or completely move to different states. Now this is a summary of the vaguest proportions.
But we must take Enron, standard Oil, and such other Big business' into mind. It is greed like this that sets the Domino effect into motion, the end result is...? The poor get poorer. While the Rich stay comfortable.
