You're wrong.

Clinton started school-to-work and Goals 2000. Bush federalized it in No Child Left Behind. Have you paid attention to how schools are run nowadays?

I got my own education. I worked long and hard. When Microcomputers came along I learned about them. I started in 1977. My wife and I retired very comfortably in 1995. Nobodoy but me was responsible for those choices. Suck it up.
