I don't know what's worse, a tax and spend liberal or a tax and spend republican...

At least with a liberal we would have some programs to help the states with their financial difficulties. Have you noticed how high your state and city taxes are? Do you know why? Programs were cut to pay for these tax cuts and the burden is passed onto all of us.

Bush and the no child left behind fiasco has virtually eliminated all state funds for education while only focusing on testing. Ask some teachers just how much teaching is going on in schools today vs all of this outrageous testing. Guess who has to support the local education budgets if the states won't? You got it, we do.
