- I would have to diagree with the assertion that Clinton's private school
- choice has nothing to do with his forthcoming policy changes and that we should
- just "wait and see". In fact, I see it as a major factor in those policy
- decisions. Just as you're less careful when spending OTHER people's
- money, and just as Congress is more willing to pass various laws (such
- as affirmative action and minum wage, for example) AFTER
- they exempt themselves from those same laws, Clinton is less
- likely to take as much care with Ed policy now that it won't affect his
- precious daughter. Clinton would be more likely, in my opinion, to
- pursue idological rather than practical policies because, frankly, what
- he does won't directly affect his family.
-
- Just a thought.
