I'm for an investment in the future!
The future lies in the education of young minds today so they can, hopefully,
one day, staighten out the mess we are in today (and if you don't think
it's a mess, go crawl back under you rock and leave the rest of us to sort
things out!).  The only way to make sure these young minds of America will
be prepared to take on this challenge is through education.

Scott, I'm also for investment in the future. That's why my tendency is to
get the federal government OUT of aid programs, and get the private sector
back into them. Given the record of efficiency the government has as
distributing/spending money, private donations have GOT to be more
efficient (I don't have efficiency figures. Does someone out there?)

On a similar topic, a proposal was raised on how to get the government out
of aid programs. Allow tax credits for donations, taking the cuts from the
appropriate aid organization. Seems like this should work as well in the
area of education aid. By doing so, you also get rid of silly regulations
like no federal aid to men who haven't registered for the draft, etc.
