http://rjlieffortusg.blogspot.com/2008/06/root-of-all-evil.html
Wednesday, June 18, 2008. The Root of All Evil. Politicians are constantly looking for ways to fix the ever mounting problems that the country faces and it is wasting time and money because they are going at it wrong. 8217;s problems are like a weed and you don’t kill a weed by attacking leaves, you need to attack the roots. Education is the root of. Education has become a tool for limiting students as opposed to being a launch pad for their success. Teachers are forced to cover only a set curriculum for...

The Backbone of the United States. Debate and Discussion of U.S. Government for Gov. 2305. Friday, June 13, 2008. From The New York Times Editorial: " Another Failure on Climate Change. Climate change has been an issue for quite a while, but it is only recently becoming a priority in the world of politics.

Democracy Inaction: Accountability in Government
http://rjlieffortusg.blogspot.com/2008/06/accountability-in-government.html

Even though he has only held his position for eighteen months, Gates has already done more to hold powerful members of policy responsible than just about anyone else in. I hope that Mr. Gates continues to uphold the basic American code set up in the Declaration and that others follow his example. Mr Gates may have just t...

http://thebackboneoftheunitedstates.blogspot.com/2008/06/no-child-left-behind.html
The Backbone of the United States. Debate and Discussion of U.S. Government for Gov. 2305. Friday, June 27, 2008. No Child Left Behind. The current state of education in the United States is approaching pitiful. By teaching towards the test and always reaching for just above the passing line, our school standards are set way too low. Accountability tests like Texas’s TAKS test should not be used as a measure of whether or not our schools are doing a good job of educating our children. Students that faile...

Democracy Inaction: Comment on Colleague's Blog
http://rjlieffortusg.blogspot.com/2008/06/comment-on-collegues-blog.html

If we would allow local lawmakers to run the areas that elect them so that their focus of keeping their voters happy can be put to good use. Different business codes and...

Monday, June 9, 2008. It's a Different Country? Paul Krugman discusses in his New York Times editorial “ It’s a Different Country. 8221; how racial division has faded from a tool used by the Right to gain power in. And that its fall has opened the doors for Sen. Obama to gain his position as the Democratic nominee. This idea is based on Krugman’s point that the racial division of the country has finally faded enough to allow for a candidate that breaks the traditional mold. The idea that electing a black...
