Good Idea?

This actually sounds good to me -- we must stay up with the job market (i.e. more high tech jobs less low tech)… I have heard criticism for this plan because it is part of a plan to "consolidate" federal job-training program. President Bush is attempting to increase effectiveness while decreasing cost -- well isn't this a novel idea, and I can see why people are upset - NOT! Now the "stealing from us" birds will start coming out of the woodwork -- I believe we need to educate Americans on how business are able to keep cost down while providing a better product -- kind of goes something like "increase effectiveness while decreasing cost" -- get real, this is exactly what we need to bring our budget back down, fiscal conservatism.

"We must never lose sight of the need to have an education system ... that's capable of keeping this country competitive by adjusting to the workplace as it really is," Bush said at Anne Arundel Community College. "I have come to herald success."
