Some people may think I have left off education but all the federal goverment does is eat away the funds. So for every dollar we send to them they send back a little change and they really have done nothing to improve education. McCain And Obama both are just running on platforms to expain the federal goverments role in our lives and its not going to help one bit.

YOU are correct!
Every time I hear a phrase or utterance that implies "the Fed should take care of that", it makes me cringe
