John Stossel "Stupid in America"

Fox News John Stossel broadcast this scathing documentary "Stupid in America" School spending has gone through the roof and test scores are flat.  While most every other service in life has gotten faster, better, and cheaper, one of the most important things we buy -- education -- has remained completely stagnant, unchanged since we started measuring it in 1970.  Why no improvement?  Because K-12 education is a government monopoly and monopolies don't improve.

I'm not sure stupid in America is the correct annolgy. In my personal opinion I call it the EWS (educated welfare system) because union execs never seem to get enough; no matter how much you may give them. The more you think about it, the more you realize how true it is!!!!!
