BTW, Kerry's ideas on the Departments of Agriculture and Education sounded pretty damn good to me.

While last time I checked, the number of DOA employees did not outnumber farmers, I think there is at least one bureaucrat for every ten farmers in America.

And there is no objective evidence that a Federal Department of Education has done squat to improve education in America. We put men on the Moon without it, and I don't see any drastic improvements in education statistics since it was founded. Put the money back in the states and localities where it can do some good.

I wonder how many people are aware that the DOE was created by Jimmy Carter? That everything accomplished before that was done without it? I'm sure most people think it was there since at least Franklin Roosevelt. Just like Medicare, right?

        Are you implying that the budget crisis in California is the result of illegal aliens? (n/t) - Mary Anne - 1/18/2004 10:33:07 PM
        
        Social costs of illegals in CA, AZ, NM and TX are large factors in the budget pressures in those states. (n/t) - ebnelson - 1/19/2004 12:52:08 AM
