I predict that America will surprise the press and prove that they understand the cost and importance of the war on terrorism. The Democrats are trotting out tired DNC rhetoric as if 9-11 never happened. My elderly mother isn't asking for free drugs, and we don't think the additional billions to pay for a "smaller class size" amendment makes any sense (do they think we're stupid?). We do think that the economy can be helped by tax cuts, fewer regulations, tort reform...the trial lawyers are costing us in $$$ and businesses, and other proven economic boons the Democrats ignore in favor of the same failed rhetoric. Rant over.

This smaller class size ploy seems ridiculous. My sister teaches 1st grade in Calif. and now has only 19 or 20 students each year. And still complains about the work-load. Of course, many are "minorities" and some of those with other languages so that contributes to the challenge, I guess. But I recall huge classes when I was in school and we still managed to learn and interact effectively with the teacher, too.
