Lucky Charms

April 22, 2008

Our 5-year old daughter Isabella was watching TV today and told my wife “Do you know Lucky Charms has less sugar now? Now we can buy it…I think it has vitamins too.”

Well played, General Mills :)

Why should federal taxes be spent on education?

April 09, 2008

Lance Garrett Steagall complains that only 4.4 percent of our federal budget goes towards education, and that we’re overspending on defense.

People like Lance have a warped view of the role of federal government. Federal taxes should go towards federal defense… and there is no reason education needs to be federalized. I’d support 0% of federal education expenditures. Remember we’re in a republic, people, and the states can handle education without federal assistance!
