Why is Bush's kid brother getting federal bucks?
Maybe this has already been discussed here. :shrug:

snip/
""It is astonishing that taxpayer dollars are being spent on unproven educational products to the financial benefit of the president’s brother," Melanie Sloan, CREW's executive director, said in a news release. "The IG should investigate whether children’s educations are being sacrificed so that Neil Bush can rake in federal funds."

Neil Bush first attracted public scrutiny for his role in the Savings and Loan scandals of the late 1980s when a Colorado S&L on whose board he served failed. The scandal cost taxpayers $1.6 billion."

9. Why?
Because it's what they DO..

The Bushies have always lived off the government teat.. One could say they are worse than the biggest baddest Welfare Queen you could imagine.. The Bushes always manage to be in a position where they design and fund the "programs" they participate in..Even the most prolific "welfare Queen" has to figure out an angle to take advantage of the system... the people like the Bushes and their buddies RUN the system,

11. NCLB.....that covers Neil, doesn't it? When I first heard of this
I thought, what does Neil Bush know about education? Probably as much as he knew about Savings and Loans.
