JFC, I think I just fell into a nest full of libtardedness. I can't keep up with the posts.
You are the only one referencing party politics here.
I am simply addressing the fact that they didn't step outside what their designed function is.
By the way, I am all for decreasing the Education line item in the budget, but only if it is done by addressing curriculum(method and content), standards, teacher review process, as well as facilities in such a way that we end up with a plan that is a responsible and realistic one that, when fully funded, takes less money.
Doing less is just plain stupid.
