The State of the Union

I have viewed the State of the Union address a few times. What most people fail to keep in focus is most public speeches by politicians are ploys for party positioning. President Bush did not have to present data to validate his opinions. Presidents have misrepresented facts or twisted facts to appear to state what is best for them and their political party. As a working American, I personally know the economy is heading the wrong way. Look at the price of everyday needs--- milk, bread, or eggs. Money works in a circular flow, when a major industry like the housing industry, is in crisis, the whole economy is at risk or colasping. American is only a step away from a serious economic crisis.

I have close relatives and friends in public education. The No Child Left Behind legislation is a ploy to eliminate public education. What will happen to children of normal citizens if and when education is privatized? Originally the government will give vouchers to cover expenses, but when the budget is pressed for funds, what happens? Private citizens will be left in the cold. If families can't pay--- no education for their children. Education is hard pressed to really change until parents are educated to prepare their young to be educated----early social adapations.
