No Billionaire Left Behind
Thanks to GW's "No Child Left Behind," we'll be seeing a younger, cheaper workforce! During Bush's tenure as governor, "The Texas Miracle" succeeded in garnering dropout rates as high as 31% for white students, 49% for black and 53% for hispanics.

More recently, the popular media cried "scandal" when Houston school officials were found fudging the numbers to disguise high drop-out rates. Why all the fuss, anyway? Finally, we have a president who understands the waste of educating the masses. Thanks to his forward-looking reforms, teaching to the test is boring a whole generation of mediocre students (of which GW has an intimate understanding) out of the classroom and into low paying jobs in our factories and food chains!

Did I mention the charter schools? Another favorite of W's, they can be run by private companies outside the authority of local school boards! So what if new results show they're academically ineffective? Isn't that the point? May I suggest a slew of charter schools to improve the quality of our future domestic staffs? Jeez, good help is hard to come by. Perhaps Martha would consider developing the curriculum during all of her "free" time...
