tucker: that is it and you make your point in his piece that s exactly right. it s become an excuse to let the actual natural environment to grade. one of the great things in my opinion the great thing about this country is its natural beauty, it has no parallel in the world and yet it s getting dirtier. there s litter and graffiti everywhere, why wouldn t conservatives spearhead efforts to clean up america? this is a huge pet peep with me. i don t understand, you re conservative so we have the self image, where the people who clean up our lawns. where the people who just sort of do the right thing and the people of personal responsibility. why doesn t that apply to the country as a whole? who would rather have beautiful cities, go to new york, los angeles, these are cities degraded quickly and that is part of the environment too. the u.s. serve a study that i cite in the piece that the united states loses 36 million trees in urban areas every single year. that makes those urban
involved in education. wouldn t conservatives be in favor of more streamlined loan process an mother deliverables as it were from taxpayers? there are conservatives who have been highly constructive on this. for instance, you have a really good belt that s trying to get a fair amount of data that colleges currently keep locked up about what students make after college and try to unlock that data so kids have it. i d make one more point on the health care thing. health care and education suffer from similar problems. they ve both grown at way faster than the rate of inflation. the thing they really share that i think is important is these are basically two kinds of products that people don t feel able to say no to. they don t feel able to say no to health care for their spouse or children. they don t feel able to say no to college costs for their kid because otherwise they re told, and it s often true, that they re setting their kid up for a lifetime of at least comparative failure.
