Many people don't realize this, (I'm sure you do, because like me, you actually read th bill) But the Democrats are crying about the "No Child Left Behind Act" because they say it's not being funded, But the truth is, the law says they must qualify for the money, something they never had to do before.
"The No Child Left Behind Act" had the possibility of something like a 27% increase if every school district could comply with the new standards, very few have, so the money is not allocated, and goes back into the Treasury.
This has the Democrats in a fit of rage, never before did the public schools have to comply with standards before getting any money. This will be explained to the knee jerk reactionaries who belly ache and are too damn lazy to read the bill to begin with. My guess is this will be explained at a time of GWB's choosing, Late September maybe :-)
