4. Outrageous! How about george repay his overpayment these past 7 years?

And it was overpayment! We got screwed, big time! Hell as far as that goes, how about the majority of congresscritters pay back their salaries. For what we received, they were grossly overpaid!

10. Seems like if BushCo can bail out an investment firm with $30 Billion ...

... they can help out a few teachers with a few thousand bucks.

Oh ... never mind. :eyes: The teachers aren't part of the Good Ol' Boy Network.
