Union teachers paid to do nothing!

Great waste of taxpayer money. You are paying tens of millions in salaries to teachers who literally sit around picking their noses.

It's is good to see that persons who know nothing about our public schools and the public school employees are the first to begin talking!

Hang it up. Oh, yes, why is it that you choose not to do this in person/on camera? Fear?

HILLS: Tell me, how have federal dollars on education increased against the rate of inflation? watch?v=39I6XyzsyFE How have test scores fared since 1970? How much have the # of public-sector union members increased in the same time frame? You'll answer those questions in your next comment.

Fear has nothing to do with why I don't show my face, read the Second Amendment son. Private gun sales are legal in Iowa. ;)

Lay them off, let them draw unemployment for the allotted time. At the end of that you get a job. This is exactly what I had to do.

BUD: I agree, but public sector unions are literally bankrupting states. Many times these guys don't even contribute fo their pensions. I have to contribute to mine and I assume you have to contribute to yours, they want the taxpayers to fund theirs. If the Fed. Dept. of Ed. was shut down and each state had autonomy to expand school choice not only would taxpayers be off the hook, but kids would probably get a better education.

This still doesn't address why on so many issues Bush and GOP chose the FEDS to step on states rights.

Robert, are you now admitting that you were wrong on:

Democrat support for NCLB, the fact that entitlements eat up more of the budget than defense spending and... states are free to legalize marijuna. NV has tried it a few times.

I think you're reaching for some more generalized talking points in your latest rant.

See my videos on the Mortgage Meltdown, I've already addressed the central players behind the housing market meltdown--Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Democrats had a slim advantage for most of Bush's first two years, the first 6 months it was 50-50. Democrats controlled Congress his last two years.

Where are you getting this 72% figure? Your post above has nothing to do with this video anyways.

Actually, Obama's flip-flopped on the legalization of marijuana. That's more of a libertarian issue (10th Amend.) and should be left ot the states.

NCLB was supported by more than 3/4 of House and Senate Democrats. Ted Kennedy practially wrote it. Did you not know this?

Bush's avg. deficit as a % of GDP was 4.3%, Obama's running one north of 7% this fiscal year.

The rest of your post (actually all of it) is generalized nonsense.

[UTubekookdetector]

All I can say in response to that is teachers should be able to be let go despite their number of years, if they aren't doing their job.

It shouldn't matter how long a teacher has been there, if they're bad, get rid of them.

Secondly, the Constitution says nothing about education, this is something left to the states, there should be no Federal Dept. of Education.

Lets remember there has to be some account for the Bush mess, 72 percent of his time in office with a GOP Congress. What a mess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
