Earlier this year Bush gave the Education department something like $14 billion. Now he's giving them $26 more. That's $40 more billion dollars to bolster the programs the Department of Ed have been cramming down out kid's throats. What does Bush get in return? Testing.
Well there you have it. The conservative approach to fixing education is now to throw $40 billion at the problem.
There. Fixed.
Thank God it's our boy forking over the funds. If it was Gore I'd be really pi--ed about this.

Presently there is testing in virtually every state.
So the testing provision is meaningless.
$40 billion is enough to give every tax-paying household a tax rebate of $400.
