Axe the Dept of Education. Other than that, lower spending and lower taxes. Works wonders.

I have more faith in the state school board to make decisions regarding Kansas schools than I do any of the honyocks in DC. 

And once any money is attached to students, we'll all be better off.

Car exhaust fumes cause global warming, so we can't have that.

Sorry you feel that way, Mr Pot/Kettle. It's the only thing that will work. Brought the country of the depression of the late teens, early 1920's.

        Man, are you funny. Education should be a locally controlled item, not a federal one.

[OK_Cat]

for what reasons?  states already have control of their own curriculums and standards.

Some of it looks good . . . this is awful:

The current federal gas tax is 18.4 cents per gallon, but the commission proposes to increase the federal gas tax, gradually and beginning in 2013, so that in 2020, it would be $1.18 cents per gallon. This would not only generate significant revenue but also reduce consumption of gas, reduce carbon emissions, and provide an incentive to automakers to increase the fuel efficiency of their vehicles.

Projected Revenue: $130 billion

Agreed. Raising income taxes would be much better than raising the gas tax.
