28. I always knew that "re-training" was a joke. What the real scam is
that our education centers have become the big business of the GOP. First thing Jeb Bush did was get rid of regents and replace them with his own people.

You ought to look into who has the contracting assignements when public schools expand. I wouldn't be surprised if you find a correlation between GOP donations and the contractors selected.
