Actually thats exactly what Obama has promised to do over and over for the whole campaign. |
Well I am referring to a majority of current politicians. I know Obama does want to do that. That is one of his many campaigning points. |

I'd rather education be privatized but I know that won't ever happen so I don't really delve into it. As far as military, I think that ought to be government oriented, but I do want to strictly maintain the second Amendment. |
So you just want the elite to be educated? |

Nope, if there's enough competition in any market there will be affordability. |

At least I voted against the penny tax they have going on out here in my county. A county in which the schools are completely ing wealthy and in a state where it ranks among the top in the nation in government funding per each student yet falls dismally at the bottom of the totem in actual quality education and testing results. They don't need any more money as it's clearly not solving the issues they face. |
The current system of funding education through property taxes is ludicrous. It makes no sense at all that kids living in poverty who already grow up in an information-poor environment with an uneducated single mother should get less funding for their schools than kids who grow up with two PhD parents who teach them basic reading and math before they even enter pre-school. Whatever choices their parents made, none of those kids did anything to deserve the advantages and disadvantages that they have, but our current system treats it like they do. |

Republicans, we didn't invent pointless rhetoric, but perfected it.
The need to belong can be a very very dangerous thing.;) |

| As it stands I'm content enough with the education system as it is. But I was just saying, if I could have it all my way without opposition :p |

Holy , I realized I just haxed myself here. The education system is a good example of how both private and government organizations can coexist as pkc had just stated.
I need to go to my room and think about what I did :( |

Are cheap-o frozen dinners from Wal-Mart on an equal nutritional level with gourmet meals from upscale markets?
In a "free market," the poor kids will get cheap-o frozen dinner schooling and the wealthier kids will get the gourmet stuff. Yeah, everybody might get some kind of education, but just like with food, some will be crap and other stuff will be valuable. So basically you would be reinstating the current system, except for the fact that the really poor people could no longer afford school at all. |

The way it's run as a whole. The standards need to be raised. Our college system and secondary education is still impeccable. |

If you was a true racist, why would you have black friends if you claim to hate them, that makes no sense.
If I hated black people I certainly would not befriend them! |
because people makes exceptions when it suits. "i hate blacks except for my good friend bob, but he's not like other black people".
that's like saying sexist pigs never get married. |
