Walsh - Bean Forum October 20th

I wish I could include the entire debate,but time does not permit me the luxury.
What can I say, these two are polar opposites. The choice this election season couldn't be more black and white, good and bad, smart and dumb.

I focused on two specific issues, but on all the issues there are glaring philosophical differences.

Melissa Bean wants to continue trying what hasn't worked for 40 years in education.
Joe Walsh wants to place public education back into the hands of the States and dismantle the Department of Education who has a 40 year track record of nothing except spending tax payer dolalrs.

Melissa Bean wants to push Cap and Trade. In her mind, it will pull in lots of revenue for the government. What she doesn't realize is when you go after an entire industry, those skyrocketing costs are rolled downhill to the taxpayer.

Here's what I determined about Melissa Bean on Cap and Trade:

1) Either she really is that dumb.
2) She's too lazy to see the domino effect it would have on our economy and therefore just used the Democrat talking points.
3) Or she thinks the people in the 8th District are really that dumb.

Hope this serves as a glaring example of what's offered in the 8th this season

So is Joe suggesting that the Dept of Education should be completely dismantled or is it just the "waste and abuse" he would get rid of??

@banjoeyes1234 I don't want to speak for Joe. But he's a performance-based politician. Certainly one of the major problems in the public schoola arena is the money seldom reaches the schools, kids and teachers where it belongs. Out of $11,000 per student cost, I'm guessing only $4,000 to $6,000 per student actually goes towards teaching. The Dept. of Education is extremely top-heavy and has little to show for the amount of money it spends.

Excellent video! Melissa Bean doesn't understand individual liberty and freedom. If Americans thought we needed to cut down on emissions, we could do so in the free market by buying only from companies that limit their pollution. We don't need some clueless bureaucrat taxing us more and centrally planning the U.S. energy industry via carbon credits.

Not to mention that the "science" behind anthropogenic global warming is plagued with fraud and conflicts of interest.

Once again, the public sector fails. Our public school system either needs to be revamped or removed to let the private sector handle. I recommend the latter, at least that way the state does decide what our children learn.
