Well said. Very well said, indeed.

When I hear republicans say that you can't just throw money at certain problems, I always want to say that you have to have a good approach for using whatever money you have. Don't throw money away. But far too often, in terms of the social programs and schools, there is a lack of funding. And, in some cases, too much money being diverted, or invested in cushy offices for bureaucrats too far from the problems.

I've noted in a couple posts recently that I've been reading some books by republican "leaders." By no coincidence, they are all parroting the mantra that "environmentalists are dangerous." There are few areas where it is so easy to identify their moral bankruptcy. If the democratic leaders fail to highlight this issue, they will lose a lot of grass roots support at election time.
