Since the US government has since the 60's not done much of anything good with taxpayer's money (public education being only one of many glaring examples), I think we should focus instead on dramatically reducing the size of the Federal government. A good place to start is the Dept of Education. This is an unconstitutional body, and public education should be handled by states -- states the size of Finland. :)Chris Tampahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774991207259898120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707703066300530859.post-2255906993966120262012-05-28T17:02:38.011-06:002012-05-28T17:02:38.011-06:00And I just noticed this Reich video is almost a ye...And I just noticed this Reich video is almost a year old, so by now my comments might be moot!!

It's every bit as complex as teaching and will take as much study and time to learn as you can spare.Chris Tampahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774991207259898120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707703066300530859.post-70083798467976266152012-05-28T17:00:12.534-06:002012-05-28T17:00:12.534-06:00Hmmmm.
