So, as always....you can write a thousand page bill into law...and it’ll just be wavered or ignored.
It would REALLY help if Congress would STOP writing laws that give the Executive Branch these kinds of powers, because that’s EXACTLY how dictatorships work (i.e., selectively reward friends and punish enemies).
The Health Care law is the classic example and the widespread use of waivers in and of itself should be enough to throw the whole thing out.
You have to simply NOT PERMIT waivers. If the law is “too hard” on certain people (or companies), then let them take up their exceptions in Congress, as it’s Congress’s law, not the Executive’s.
Without testing, there is no OBJECTIVE measure of success. To Liberals, the only measure of “success” is the school budget. Despite the rhetoric, they care far more about teacher Unions than about the kids.
That being said, teachers can only do so much. The kids have to show up willing to learn and the parents have to be supportive of learning. I’m sure this will NEVER be the case in many communities. That is why the school budget is almost irrelevant. If this is true, kids will learn—even on a shoestring budget. If its not, all the $$ in the world won’t make a dent.
All “czars” just make everything up as they go along. Congress needs to shut them all down, along with all policy-making by the heads of agencies. The United States is not supposed to be ruled by individual whim.
Now that Obama is in more trouble from the left as he enters election season he is reversing the administration's stance in order to win back favor from the teachers.
