Reply #379: Good luck getting that past the politicians in Congress, Mr. President. Money, money, money... [View All]

It will cost money and it runs counter to the Repub scheme of making our children the dumbest, most ignorant in the world. The Repubs will scream "Taxes!" and their base -- already the dumbest, most ignorant mass of people in the world -- will come out swinging.

Personally I would VERY MUCH like to see the following: a longer school-year, better wages for teachers, on-site after school child care, a nurse in every school, music and art programs, more math and science... all those things and more are available in other countries, and our children deserve them too.

Good luck to our POTUS, who is younger, smarter, and more energetic than I will ever be again -- and good luck to all of us as well. We need him to succeed.
