On this issue, I agree with Obama...and stop with the glorified high school comments.

While I feel education is a good thing, and there is some merit to the proposal, what we are going to find in a practical world is that no amount of financial aid for education is going to change the attitudes of inner city residents.

The net result of more education aid will be even greater disparity between those willing to take up the challenge of actually improving their lot in life and the professional victim class.

The only way we are ever going to improve the lot of the very poorest in our society is to somehow change their attitudes and beliefs.
