Letter To The Editor

 

Mistakes, most learn from them. If you try something and it does not work then you try something else before it is too late. Yet the graveyard is littered with ideas that didn’t work and a stubbornness that wouldn’t allow change. Go figure. After many years of watching our education "industry" ( I use this word purposely ) and a year right in the middle of it I have come to the conclusion that this is a perfect example of this malady.

 

The Department of Education began as a cabinet level monstrosity in 1980. We now spend more per child than any other country except Luxemburg yet are the laughing stock of the world educationally. Why? It is just like the charities where 90% goes to the administrators and 10% goes to the needy. The administration from right here in Northwood to the top of the money chain in D.C. are sucking it up for themselves. Yet…yet, the kids go without basic needs. Why do we allow this to happen?

 

We the people have not learned from this mistake. The mistake is that more and more money will not educate our children. Money, the vast amounts of it, is hurting our children. It masks the real problem. It gives us a feel good feeling that at least we are trying to do something. A nun or a Chinese teacher could take 30 kids in a class at 1/10 what we spend and give those students a great education. If we were anything but a taxpayer funded industry, we also would be in that graveyard, deservedly so. We need to rethink, yes, change.

Letter

 

I am getting annoyed at being puzzled by my congressman, Frank Guinta. I got a video from a friend showing that Mr. Guinta didn’t know when he voted for HR3630, the payroll tax cut extension, he also voted to increase the amount of Medicare premiums paid by high-income beneficiaries and the number of beneficiaries required to pay these higher premiums, and to cut the Medicare provider rates for physicians and hospitals. Cutting that rate would mean fewer doctors would take on new Medicare patients.

 

That bill would also raise Medicare premiums on seniors by 15 percent starting in 2017 and slash the healthcare reform law’s Prevention and Public Health Fund by $8 billion. The public health system and preventative health initiatives not only safeguard our health, they save us all money.

 

I guess Frank didn’t read the bill. He really doesn’t have to, because he has corporate masters who tell him how to vote on things. Carol Shea-Porter read the bills she voted on. How do I know? I looked at her legislative record, and saw that she added amendments to a number of bills that improved them substantially.

 

One of those bills was the Affordable Care Act. She read the bill and found nothing in there about closing the Medicare D prescription donut hole. She worked hard to get an amendment added. She knew how to persuade her colleagues to do the right thing. She cared about us, and we need her back in Congress!
