Scary

People paid to spout their shit. At least all of the anti-Bush people do it out of passion.

At least they're funding something because they certainly don't fund public schools.

So instead of helping to educate people in the United States, they're funding something that is really only a small part of that education (health education relating to "substance abuse"), and at the same time they're only offering the Federal government's point of view on the issue.

And then, after all this, they're blatantly supporting PARTISAN POLITICS. They're using public money to push one political party’s agenda; namely they are advocating for the integrity of a particular politician (Bush).

Of course, since there is virtually no accountability or check of power in these "departments", nothing can and ever will be done to put a stop to it.

Want to know how much is being appropriated for Education in 2006?

Take a look. You'll also see what programs are being cut. Print the list out and give it to anyone who may be on the fence about voting for a Republican candidate in the next few years (most importantly the 2008 presidential election). The Republican Party obviously does not value Education and other social programs, nor the well being of those not in the upper class.
