[QUOTE="God of Love, post: 45702701, member: 6783"] Ahh ... the declaration of "success" was made over three years ago ... and we're still there. That could be part of it. How about not enacting practices such as the [U][B]NO CHILD LEFT A DIME[/B][/U] program, where public schools now pay teachers, assistants, and private nurses to sit all day long and change the diapers or menstrual pads of teenagers who can't recite their ABC's? My wife was a substitute teacher for a number of years. When the [U][B]NO CHILD LEFT A DIME[/B][/U] program came along, she was re-assigned from being a substitute, to sitting all day long beside a 16-year old wheelchair-bound girl who couldn't talk or communicate, and wore a pad on her arm to wipe off her drool on. The girl had to be taken to the bathroom and cleaned up when completed. The class they were in had 5 similar students ... each requiring one assistant and a classroom nurse. The school had to hire several nurses, and purchase several specially equipped wheelchair lift buses. As a result, local taxes were raised and teachers took a 2% salary cut. Within 2 years, my wife (and a lot of other teachers and assistants) quit. How about helping out american workers and not padding the pockets of people in the "good ole boy" network around him? He's not responsible for all the flaws in our economy. But he certainly has done his share of damage. The killer for me was about two months back, he was giving a press conference and a reporter ask him what he thought about the prospect of $4.00-per-gallon gas prices during this summer; Bush looked completely stunned and said "He hadn't heard about that". You can tell he doesn't pump his own gas. I know now I'm wishing a lot of the folks who voted for him stick had their Bush/Cheney bumper stickers on their cars. That would be funny.
