I would pay for this by stopping the payments to oil companies now. The money would be rewarded through contests. I would expect much of the companies to sprout from universities just like medical studies.<BR/>As for socialized medicine. it is just a starter idea. I am not advocating 100% funding. I know the markets are not working correctly. I believe there is price fixing from pharmaceuticals and doctor's can screw up and still charge you. It is broken.<BR/>Welcome to the cabinet. disagreement is encouraged, thinking is mandatory.McDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18435249204918043826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4849825846809046198.post-14277520892251244812008-10-01T16:41:00.000-07:002008-10-01T16:41:00.000-07:00Hilarious.

(By the way, what does it mean to hold teachers accountable? Test scores are not an indicator of good teaching.Just ask mom. She is one of the best teacher i know, but Jackson School had some of the lowest scores in our district.) <BR/><BR/>I would have to take a hard look at giving big "start up funds to small companies that would create new methods to get energy" before I was willing to invest in them. It does not take much energy to flush money down the toilet. They would need to prove their viability (then I’d give them more than 5 million).<BR/><BR/>Any more ideas? I’ll probably shoot them down too. :) You don't get the title of "frugal" by approving new spending...Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02785714740654414975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4849825846809046198.post-49742892682696642592008-10-01T07:57:00.000-07:002008-10-01T07:57:00.000-07:00thanks for proposing that i join your cabinet. i t...thanks for proposing that i join your cabinet. i think you should start by having the secretary of education proofread your blog. "This is my ideas" is just fodder for the press to point out how unqualified you are. they love to blow a little grammatical error out of proportion.<BR/><BR/>by the way, i've seen socialized medicine in russia. and it's a very scary thing.
