Education - There is no more important investment in the future than the education of our children and grandchildren. When you invest wisely by paying to educate a child, whether your own child or the child of impoverished parents, you should receive a dollar for dollar Federal tax credit for your investment. By supporting investment in education, we will build a wealthier America that will be more comfortable with Libertarian platform proposals. By supporting investment in education, you reduce the money available for Republicans and Democrats to waste on Wars for Nothing and Bridges to Nowhere. By supporting investment in the education of individual children, you build competition in educational approaches that move education in libertarian directions.

No Child Left Behind - George Bush wants to rescue the education of our children, using all the wisdom and compassion he used to rescue New Orleans. The No Child Left Behind Act should be repealed. The Federal government should leave education to states, communities, and parents.

Science Policy - The Federal government invests enormous sums in research and development. We develop new weapons, preparing to fight a Soviet Union that no longer exists. Huge amounts go to the manned space station, a boondoggle that contributes very little scientific research. Robot probes like the Cassini-Huygens probe and the Rosetta Orbiter are much more effective. We should end wasteful development and research spending.

To please its supporters, the Bush Republican Party obstructs research on stem cells and global warming. This obstructionism should end. So long as I am President, science policy will not be dictated by people who think the earth is flat. I may differ with Congress on how much money the Federal government should spend on real science, but I will work vigorously to make sure that your money is spent well.
