When caught lying return fire by calling someone else a liar.

Has everyone seen this extremists latest video?  The one where he took notes from everyone else's playbook including the extremists media networks and decided to pander to his constituents?  Have you seen it?


The reason his moron decided to 'go on the attack' with his constituents is because his 'Scared Cow' was realized.  The FACT that Tea Baggers can't even BEGIN to move to a flatter and fairer tax by bring the Bush Tax Cuts for the wealthy under control is exactly the reason why this jerk believes he has the right to be the House at all.


A balanced budget amendment (click title to entry - thank you) will be considered on the House floor next Wednesday, The Daily Caller has learned from a senior GOP source on Capitol Hill....
I guess seeking to be the next Joe Wilson is everyone's desire.



There can't be a Balanced Budget Amendment UNLESS Congress is willing to raise taxes on the wealthy, otherwise, the Middle Class will completely disappear and the poor won't have enough disposable income to have an economy at all, except, for what Chinese imports allow them.  Like it is now across more than 15% of the populous of the USA.

Why will the Middle Class disappear?  Because without disposable income and more burden for the cost of government, their economy will continue to shrink into oblivion.  Not only that, but, the most common way for the poor to increase their wealth is through public education.  How does the Middle Class increase the opportunity for their children?  Through education.  What do we know is the backbone of the Republican failure in education?  UNDERFUNDING and removing opportunity.  How do we know this besides the failure of Bush's "No Child Left Behind?"


Because Jeb Bush's Florida education 'credentials' have the same problem is not worse. 



...Examining each of the policies (click title to entry - thank you)  trumpeted by Mr. Bush, Mathis’s findings include:

The increase in fourth-grade results on the NAEP reading test, which is foundational to the entire Bush presentation, is largely an artifact of a mandatory third-grade retention policy that initially eliminated low-scoring children from the fourth-grade test and then delayed those children’s exam dates until they were more mature, thereby exaggerating any gains.

Claims that fourth-grade NAEP reading scores improved because of the test-based retention policy also ignore the likely influence of a number of reforms downplayed or ignored by Mr. Bush. These reforms include a state reading initiative, mandated class-size reductions, the provision of reading coaches, and an emphasis on early education.

The policy of assigning letter grades to schools has been followed by “a growing gap and greater inequities between higher- and lower-rated schools.”

Mr. Bush offers no evidence that alternative teacher credentialing has done anything to improve teacher quality. Other changes in seniority, tenure and test-based teacher evaluation won’t even be implemented until 2013-2014 – meaning that no credit can be assigned to them for any past Florida improvements.

Mr. Bush’s favored school choice measures are also advocated without sound evidence that they substantially influenced test scores....

...A June 15, 2011, presentation by Bush to Michigan legislators was reviewed for the Think Twice think tank review project by Dr. William Mathis, managing director of the National Education Policy Center (NEPC).  The review is published by the NEPC, housed at the 
University of Colorado at Boulder School of Education....


If one followed Jeb Bush's "Florida Standard" for education, he began a Pre-Kindergarten to bring four year olds into public school because his Third Graders were being left behind so the Fourth Grade scores would not be effected.


Don't 'get it?'


It goes like this.  If children cannot achieve enough education in Kindergarten through Third Grade to pass the tests in the Fourth Grade then start them a year earlier so they are  completely prepped for 'dress rehearsal' of Fourth Grade testing by the Third Grade.  Failure is not an option.  Simple.


Bush was remediating his own failed education policies with taxpayer money.  Florida parents and grandparents thought it was great because were returned their free time and child care expenses were changing.  Would it be nice if every child could afford a 'leg up' to better education by starting early?  Yes?  That is how out of touch the USA consumer is with past successful standards in USA education.  Citizens of the USA don't understand what academic ACHIEVEMENT is all about anymore, how it begins, what age it begins and why 'institutionalizing the child' is part of a larger political victory.
