Obama, Powell, agree to reward schools with high dropout rates

It looks like Obama and Colin Powell (why is Powell involved with this, has he been elected to something I haven’t heard about?) seem to think that when you borrow money that you don’t have and throw it at a problem of personal accountability, it goes away. It is actually humorous in a macabre kind of way to see him standing at a podium with a straight face saying that the American credit line will be extended by almost a $1 billion and that money will somehow stop students from dropping out of high school. They intend to give that money to school districts who agree to try to reverse the trend toward dropping out (that will be a tough sell), and, get this, “in some instances” to states that shut down schools with high dropout rates.

Incredible…read the rest of the absurdity here.
