Funny how Republicans who are so strident against gov money and rules in health care have no trouble with letting the government monopolize education. And notice how the same dire predictions regarding health care have already come true about gov involvement in schools - poor performance, low standards, huge dollars in and crap results out, bureaucrats deciding what's best for you, etc.
We have seen this Government socialize our education system and make our schools among the worst in the world. We have seen this Government take over most of our health care system, making private insurance less and less affordable. We have seen this Government socialize our energy resources and bring our Nation to its knees by cutting the development of our own oil and natural gas supplies. And now we see this Congress yielding its constitutional obligations to a Federal bureaucracy, giving it the power to control virtually our entire financial system.Senator DeMint on the Bailout - Oct 1, 2008
