I don't follow it that closely but a quick Google
brought up this Washington Post story that seems to
agree with Bush's stance. (Yeah surprised me too)

I don't think it's that simple. There are lots of
sides to this. The administration thinks they're
fixing the prescription drug problem and people like
you think they're ruining it. It's not a yes or no and
could take another thread or two sort out.

What about Nader? Does he have a plan? :)

We don't agree on that. Not all the numbers are in but
from what I've seen a lot of schools that complained
they couldn't change anything suddenly saw the light
and made major improvements. In the past many teachers
and Principles gained the protection of tenure and
then did nothing. By threatening to fire them they
turned around and did the job they were paid to do and
realized it wasn't so hard after all. Granted it's not
like this everywhere but it is a major improvement in
the poorer areas. I'm not even sure what the downside
is. You might need to elaborate for me.

I remember now, you complained about how this effects
on homeschooling. I'm not sure why it's bad for
homeschoolers but they are a small group and if we can
help the masses now and fine tune the system later at
least we've started to change for the better.

Ouch. He's got to be the worst. Not even funny. Watch
Jon Stewart instead. He's anti-Republican and still
has me in tears.
