Fred Sez….”Federalism”
January 12th, 2008 at 2:00 pm . by el nuko
Fred Dalton Thompson, Mr. Federalism, champion of the 10th Amendment ……….from his website, 7/27/07
“Perhaps the clearest example of federal over-involvement in state and local responsibilities is public education. It’s the classic case of how the federal government buys authority over state and local matters with tax-payer money and ends up squandering both the authority and the money while imposing additional burdens on states.” …
“The No Child Left Behind law itself increased federal funding by some 26 percent, while creating 50 new educational programs nationally, imposing almost 7 million hours and more than 140 million dollars in compliance time and costs.”
Ummm, only one small problem here. Fred Thompson voted for “No Child Left Behind.”
I guess you can say, Fred Thompson voted for “No Child Left Behind”, before he campaigned against it.
