Yes she is! They just did a story about her and that very thing should have seen the look on her face. Deer in the headlight and anger.....

The big problem with democrats is how they forget they already have these big costly socialist programs in place.

Just like they already had food stamps and decided they needed WIC and free school lunches, they forgot they aready have Head Start and subsidized child care programs.

Or pretending they forgot about their programs already in place lets them avoid admitting their programs are a big failure?

What? They knew long before that. I was a secondary ed major in the early 1990s and they knew that then, and the scandal at that time was that they had known that since shortly after the program's creation.

Head Start does work...for about 2 years. There's a notable, sometimes even a remarkable difference at the kindergarten and 1st Grade levels. However, by the time the students are in the 4th Grade, you have lost whatever gains you made and you cannot tell which students went to Head Start and which ones did not. So if you have two students performing very poorly in reading, reading comprehension and math, probably one or both of them went to Head Start.

My version of Head Start is better: A single mother under 26 can only receive Section 8 Housing money if she shares an apartment with another single mother.

You save money on HUD and you get free Day Care.

[Gosh] does that women ever give it up. Is it time? for her to go yet. Who is going to buy into her Federal Babysitting Service. And what does she stand to gain.

I am tired of that witch, want her to retire now, and take Reid with her, and the rest of this whacko administration, transparent as hell.

She has ALWAYS been a source of MAJOR embarassment to those of us who are center/Bluedog Dems...if she left politics and was never heard from again I can't think of many who would shed a tear.
