GOP Appointees Give Clues to "Small Government"

Why don't people understand that, in the mouths of GOP boosters, "small government" is eyewash for "captive government"?

I was just somewhere else respondo-blogalogologing about that and then I came across this clue, to a totally new perspective.

Apparently, the way that the GOP keeps government small is by keeping it all in the family, so to speak.

Why we are certain that No Child was Left Behind:

Rep. George Miller, D-Calif., chairman of the House Education Committee, raised similar concerns when told Friday of RMC's role in the evaluation. "RMC played a significant role in the implementation of Reading First and, according to the inspector general, a sometimes flawed role.

If it's true that RMC was also hired to evaluate the effectiveness of the very program it was hired to help implement, then the conflict of interest could not be any clearer," Miller said.

Both lawmakers have been investigating Reading First, and Miller announced Friday that he would hold a hearing on the issue April 20. -link
