Today I happen to turn on the radio and found out that according to the latest traffic data the Bay area congestion became less of a problem. Sure, I can see that. But the most interesting detail came from our Governor Davis, who claimed this as the direct result of his administration's infrastructure investment policy. What a fuck! The unemployment rate in the valley is about 10%, 30% of offices are vacant, of course you are going to get fewer people commuting back and forth!
Very similar to his another clam that the recent gains in school tests were the result of the class size reduction program. Well, the improvement in scores came mostly from the higher grade students, whose class sizes were completely unaffected. The money he spent on building new classrooms were mostly wasted, because in the end there were not enough qualified teachers to teach there. Moreover, because of the lack of good teachers, the quality of education actually went down.
Man, what a freaking blatant liar. |
