Kind-a funny. republican'ts started the Iraq war when we could not

money. The GOP raided SS and medicare/aid since the 70s to balance the
budget! very fiscally unresponsible.


Of the public schools in Illinois, Chicago has the highest
dollar-per-pupil spent, and the lowest test scores, the lowest
graduation, and the highest dropout rates, in the state.

While Blue Mound, Illinois, has the highest test scores, the highest
graduation and the lowest dropout rates in the state. While spending
less than half, per pupil, than Chicago.

The problem with the schools, as the problem with 'No Child Left
Behind,' is not money.



The Dems handed the republican't party (in 2001) a country that was in
the black for the first time in many years and they ****ed it up pretty
bad but yet blame the last 6 months on the Dems.


Bill Clinton 'balanced the budget,' on paper only, with a 10 year
projection by including the Social Security 'trust fund' in the General
Revenue fund.

There was no surplus. There's not been a surplus. We were no more 'in
the black,' than we were prepared for 9/11.

What was handed Bush in 2000 was a country in debt, with a
demoralized military and a defense system riddled with roadblocks, and
institutionalized ignorances just as was experienced by Roosevelt in
1940. The difference was that Roosevelt created his problems. Bush's
were inherited.

In the last 6 months, the national debt has skyrocketed, spending is
flat out of countrol, and government intrusion in the private sector is
at a all time high.

All of which were done by policies of this President, after the
election.

None of which has created a single job, revitalized a single
industry, or enhanced a single matter of security. Most of which have
resulted in enormous debt held by our enemies, and a President that was
bitch slapped on the world stage a week ago.

Then he's handed a Nobel Prize for his accomplishments voted him
after only 11 days in office.

And Fox News is the problem?


Maybe you're right. Clearly YOUR school could have spent a few more
dollars.



How's that Hope and Change working for you?
