Bush's "jobless rate is down" same as "education miracle" in Texas

[rfranklin]

Notice how the technique is identical? Make the statistics look good by not counting the people who are out of a job long enough to exhaust their benefits. Just like Bush and Paige did in Texas where they just didn't count the high school dropouts. The reality is dismal failure in both cases.

1. Excellent analogy.

Kerry/Edwards should use it.

2. It would be nice to expose Bush's history of fraud

the disappearing Texas dropouts is a good place to start.

3. Add the Environmental technique to NCLB, et voila! Simply

drop the passing requirements for testing, and voila! every child becomes literate and functional in math!
And Wubya will do that while dropping $1.5 billion out of the education budget...the largest drop in any segment of the budget
