And relax people. There is no way it's going to pass, popular opinion to the contrary is overwhelming (7/10 say drafts suck). The politicians wouldn't dare go against THOSE odds.

More than likely, but the fact that a democrat suggested this idea has me a little more than spooked.

True, but why do we have to pay them with the same money? Why does strangling the fat cats in Washington also mean stranding the people who try to teach in that godforsaken necropolis of a school system we have?

That's so..... unjust!
