It is the height of folly to fail to make quality education readily accessible and affordable. A well educated electorate is essential to good government; a well educated work force is essential to our economy, and a well educated populous is essential to successful entreprenurial and innovative success. If we don't educate ALL the people in this country, we can not compete nationally or globally, and we will fail as a nation.
This reflects BAD short term thinking and DISASTROUS long term thinking -- if the right has given this any genuine thought at all. GOP = Penny wise, pound foolish, willfully stupid. Most of all, GOP = Bad for America.
