Actually, if we could put our tax money towards the private school of our choice (voucher), we would get a better product and the price would go down. Public schools are a total waste of money and are turning out poorly educated people. Watch Jay (Leno) walking for examples. I am sure he picks the worst to showcase, but for God’s sake, some of the people he interviews are supposed to be teachers. All the bond money has not improved the infrastructure that much either.
As for GM and the banks, they should have been allowed to fail. I guess if Congress did not have so much invested in them, they would have let them fail. Drain the swamp; all of it.
