Unfunded mandate? Go figure.

I'm loving the educrats running around bemoaning the fact the No Child Left Behind Act is an unfunded mandate. I can't believe it; Federal dollars come with strings? You must be joking. It's always cool when the sap getting stuck with the bill isn't you. The Lefties never saw it this way; they've always seen the ever-expanding authority of the feds as, 'the right thing to do.' But now that the reins of the beast are in the hands of someone else and the maw is gnawing at the education system, it’s a violation of the Constitution. The national media’s support of the caterwauling gives me a chuckle with every story I hear.
