Bad teachers make the same as good teachers. Vouchers would not get passed, but not because of Bush. Do you really want to give bad teachers more money, and tell the good teachers they get the same thing no matter how good they are? Do you think the billions we are spending on education is well spent, and running like a well-oiled machine? I would say our military is better than our education system. We can argue about Iraq all day and night, but it is pointless, and will not sway either of us, so perhaps we should avoid that subject. I want good teachers to make more money, and I would like some of the wasted money to go to vouchers and let the free market work. Are you against vouchers, and if so, why?
