Gergen is just a hack who floats from gig to gig in Washington. He was conservative when he worked for the Republicans, and now he is uber-liberal. Zero credibility.

[Mr. K]

arent we already spending ungodly amounts of money PER STUDENT?

I would love to see the figures of money spent NOT ON TEACHERS (admin, paperwork, supplies, etc etc)

How many people in the school system make over $100K per year

I WANT NAMES!!!

I am going out to invest in a case of beer.

David Gergen Speaks!

[grumpygresh]

Maybe these new “investments” are the people’s investment portfolios- 401K, pensions. 0bama has promised to be fiscally responsible so instead of borrowing more money, he will simply confiscate our investments (unless you are a union member of course) through “nationalization” so he can redistribute the money to GE and other crony enterprises. The positive feedback continues as 0bama receives campaign cash from the crony companies and countries like China.

[chainsaw]

"investments" is smoke screen terminology for spend the country into oblivion.

[Forgotten Amendments]

Ohhh - Gergen vs. Fleischer, how did I miss those heavyweights? Move over, Lincoln / Douglass!

Was Larry Sabato there too?

BTW - Gergen was NEVER a conservative. He was one of the Bushie “mice” who kept undermining the Reagan administration

[Lysandru]

President Clinton, for whom Gergen once worked, was fond of the saying that doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results was one of the definitions of insanity.

Beezlebubba was right.

Throwing tons of more federal money at schools won't help.

I would love to dismantle the Dept. of Education...but the Blood Libel Media would only use that move to demonize the GOP.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

Gergen always reminded me of one of those talking thumbs
