Brian: I’m more than happy to discuss Bush’s stupidity, if you’ll let me know your plan to break the death grip that the Democrat-controlled CTA (California Teacher’s Assn) has on California’s educational system.
Any thoughts? More particularly, any thoughts on how they managed to take an educational system that was the envy of the world in the 1960s and so colossally fuck it up?
You want to make the US competitive again? Your guy, Obama, has been given an excellent, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to actually fashion a US Industrial Policy (not seen since WWII).
Can he do it? Can he say “no” to the various union and labor interests? Can he back away from kow-towing to the bankers and focus on rebuilding industry and infrastructure and our broken education system (like stop giving Goldman Sachs more money than the entire US Department of Education budget).
Castigate Bush all you want, but its your guy in office now. What is he doing to restore American greatness in manufacturing, R&D, education and technology? Not some bullshit about “green” jobs, but honest-to-God industrial policy.
