FINALLY A BAILOUT PLAN THAT HITS HOME

I read a column in the NY Times this morning by an author I have really enjoyed reading of late - Thomas Friedman (author of 'The World is Flat').  His plan, in short, is to stimulate both our economy now  BUT ALSO to rework the entire American economy by changing how students are prepared to enter the workforce after graduation.  Part of his plan is to cut federal income tax of teachers....that is hardly appealing......but it made me think that would hardly see society put more pressure on schools to produce different results......and could conceivably lead to the changes in the system I think need to happen....

Cheers
