I think if he were a leading candidate and was under the spotlight 24/7 like some of the others, most people wouldn't take as seriously as they suppose they do.

God forbid a person for making a comment about doing away with the well run federal public school system. I no nothing of the guy nor do I think I would vote for him but I get a kick out of when people talk about doing away with the federal school system. Everyone says its failing but its not the system failing its the lack of money. So we give them more money and things keep getting worse so we again give it more money and thing keep going down hill. If anyone metions doing away with the federal goverments role with schools everyone freaks out like they are doing such a great job. The way it works now we send our tax money to the fed then they take about 20% of the money for their share of cost in running schools then send us back the difference. We could increase spending with thet alone by 15 or more % then let the local people who know our local needs take care of education. If they are failing just vote them out of office.
