I wouldn't be so sure, my FRiend...Dubyuh's got some true Conservatism implanted deep down within his inner core, IMHO, and will be very supportive of Disempowering the Federales where public opinion can be demonstrated to support such action. That's why it's so important that we continue to support him while simultaneously holding his feet to the fire on his willingness to compromise to the Left vis a vis Social Spending. We demonstrate the Power of the Right's ideas in the upcoming Congressional Elections and I believe we're gonna see some major improvements in policy-making from '03-'04.
"Admittedly, it'd be an uphill battle to eliminate these org.'s, but raising their budgets is no place to start."
Amen, bro...MUD
Absolutely!
And this is why I'm so pumped up over the SCOTUS ruling on vouchers.
I believe that when the voucher/tax credit programs spread to families across the entire country, that free entrerprise/market economy will show it's glorious head & we'll see education costs go down. This will attract even more folks to paying more attention to the choices available for their children, which will in turn create a demand for more private schools.
As more children attend these schools, the public school's enrollment will shrink, negating any further budget increases, which then will hopefully lead to budget decreases.
It is imperative that we rid the SCOTUS of the "living document" reading-social engineers & replace them with true constructionists.
W has gone on record as saying that he'll appoint conservative justices. He deserves this chance, and our vote in '04.
Marxists like Hillary, Gore, et al carry a very real potential to turn this country into a second-world, statist nation.
