Believe me, I understand that. Pork spending is brutal and is sucking the life out of anything good our government tries to accomplish.

I was saying that the budgets W has submitted to Congress since No Child Left Behind became law haven't included the level of funds he promised and that the law dictates. So states are left with an unfunded mandate.

But if you really break it down, NCLB is atrocious from start to finish and needs to be scrapped completely.
