care about the U.S. federal government ( sorry ) ? Have the rightwing and
the caps almost reached diminishing returns with respect to redistributing
wealth upward by manipulating the U.S. federal government ? What's left in
the federal budget for the working class ?

CB: Public schools are, in the U.S. system, explicitly emphasized to be a state and
local function. They are not provided for in the U.S. Constitution. The U.S. Dept of
Education is a very tiny fraction of the national educational budget. This was part of
the demogogy of the Bush campaign , by the way, as his television ads on education
implied the President has more of a role in education than she actually does.
I agree on Social Security. If the stock market keeps stagnating and even falling
more, this will be a good objective condition to put a curb on Social Security
privatization. If Bush ruins Social Security, that might wake the ghost of the New
Deal.
