Until the Teacher's Union and Tenure are abolished, public schools will NEVER
improve.

Vouchers:  Here in Michigan, my sales tax goes to funding the schools.  Schools
get money based on how many kids they are teaching.  Now, if my kid goes to a
public school, or a private school, shouldn't that money that *I* paid into the
system go with my kid?  In either case, it's going to educate my kid.

I shouldn't be, but I am constantly amazed at the level of economic ignorance
the Left has.

China sends rice.  The U.S. puts a tariff on it.  Yes, the consumer pays that
tariff - which goes right in to the public coffes (you know, that very same
place the farmer's aid came from).  But now China rice costs more and U.S.
consumers are now more apt to choose U.S. grown rice - which, by the way,
enriches the American rice farmers.
