Ken, if it's vote- buying when a Democrat casts a vote, why isn't it vote- buying for Republicans? Do you really think each person in the Democratic Party is only there for some government benefit? Your ability to interpret events and motives is truly profound. Think what you could accomplish if you turned your talents to the stock market. PS: This fact surprised me. During the Obama administration the federal government grew by the lowest rate since the Carter years.Craig, it's true teachers don't create jobs, but they make it possible for others to do that and foe workers to be able to perform them.
