Dear McCain
John McCain, you’ve called the new stimulus package generational theft. Even though you’ve voted for a $700 billion package when G. W. proposed it to bail out crooked Wall Street bankers and corrupt corporations. You stopped your campaign to fly to D.C. to throw in your vote, but when it comes to saving our country from eating itself alive and also to try to create thousands of jobs, you you call it generational theft. John, what would you know about Generational Theft?
Well, you may have an idea from experience yourself, Mr. McCain. Do you remember that you were part of a scandal in the late 80s that cost the tax payers of this country hundreds of billions of dollars? Adjusted for inflation, $500 billion in 1989 becomes over $830 billion in 2009. Generational Theft? Several generations after me will have to worry about paying for that and a war that you supported that solved no global issues, settled no debts, and resolved no conflicts.
You will support a debt driving war machine and support a bill that gave corporate fat cats billions of bailout money, but when it comes to investing in America’s infrastructure, you hesitate. Why? You’ve contradicted yourself over the last few weeks in regards to how you feel about tax cuts and the Obama package. Your own stimulus plan is nothing but tax cuts. Tax cuts do not work, that was obvious decades ago. Good riddance to trickle-down economics and pseudo-Reaganesque politicians.
Reagan was an idiot and to think that Bush tried to rub what greatness people saw in him from his coffin is beyond dumb. It is also beyond dumb that we have been calling McCain the second coming of Reagan for over 9 years now. Why? Because he contradicts himself constantly, could care less about popular opinion, and wants to rob the middle class while giving it to the rich in hopes it will magically float back down to us?
Isn’t it odd how the Democrats and Republicans completely reversed their views with each over the last fifty years? Except instead of a complete criss-cross, the Democrats became celebrities and the Republicans became old, rich white senile men.
Perhaps the next presidential race, which the good people of Wasilla, AK think begins in 2010 according to their massive Google search trends, will not be nearly as exciting as the 2008 election, but let’s hold out a little hope that the campaign won’t be based solely upon saving our economy once again.
How No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 Screwed Next Gen
It’s obvious that the first horror of NCLB is that schools begin to look at kids as a statistic instead of caring if they actually learn, as long as they test well. Though, there are errors in the schools way of thinking that make them think that if a child doesn’t test well, but still passes, the average test score will drop. Because of this, kids are being hassled and put under a phenomenal amount of stress at an early age. So much for being a kid these days, right?
Now, that is definitely not the worst aspect of this atrocious act. There are many statistics and articles how the NCLB Act fails minorities by increasing the margin between whites and minorities. Not only that, but how are failing schools supposed to progress if their funding is cut by a ridiculous amount? Schools that are already failing from overcrowded classes because of a lack of teachers and new books are being punished enough as it is, they do not need further financial cuts.
Though, perhaps the most devastating section of the No Child Left Behind Act is the provision that grants the Pentagon direct access to public school records. These records contain all student information to allow contact for military recruitment. This is a big change from the rights students used to have prior to Bush Jr. Just like Big Tobacco, the Pentagon’s motto is “Get’em While They’re Young”.
Obama has more to do than most people can imagine. McCain would have continued a lot of these constitutional breaking laws, acts, and provisions either out of laziness or the fact he does not care about the rights and well being of the general public.
Now for the inevitable Bush Family related scam regarding the No Child Left Behind Act! The Bush family benefits directly for NCLB! Neil Bush started a company that provides software to help students take standardized tests. Ignite, Inc. wanted 30 dollars-per-year-per-student for its software for this deal, netting 60 million dollars. “Having one brother selling something to help students on a test spearheaded by another brother and sanctioned by the president doesn’t look good.”
