Las Vegas is so wonderful with so much to do! Gamble, see the shows, or eat fine cuisine and just have a blast. We’ve got two Ferris Wheel projects in the works and you’ve never seen anything like them! Also, sports stadiums are being negotiated.
We’re going through the same economic pains just like everyone else, but we’re cutting edge. We’re actually offering a plan. Vin Suprynowicz’s commentary in the Las Vegas Review Journal is usually very eye-opening and provocative. On August 14, 2011 he stated why we should “Close the Department of Education.”

He said and I wildly agree, “The teachers try to make learning easy, a game. But real learning is not easy; it requires self-discipline and hard work. The attempt to make learning effortless actually keeps a child from discovering the pleasure of self-discipline and of the mental effort that overcomes difficulties . . .” He was quoting Rose Wilder Lane who wrote a book about American education, “The Discovery of Freedom/Man’s Struggle Against Authority.” He ends the article saying, “if you want to be free, restore education in America: refuse to patronize or support the government-run schools.” And that would include Charter Schools that operate off of government grants.

Tell us why were the schools designed to dumb down our nation? Why did they decide to postpone growing-up and why are we compelled to “surrender your school-age child to strangers” who process children with exactly what kind of information?

Neither of them have outlined any replacement ideas. I found one online, Pearson Learning Solutions is comprehensive and inclusive. They should design a program for each of our states that would meet the budget of that state and educate to fill jobs and the best universities. Performance standards in Math, English, History and Science would be set on a state basis. I can see some states offering a no-nonsense approach while others continue to pander to lazy parents and undisciplined children. Some will choose to educate the illegals and others won’t. In other words, besides jobs people will also choose to live in a state based on education merit.

We still have private and home school choices. Instead of establishing anything to replace the current government run schools, the state could choose to allocate vouchers funded with state taxes and state corporation donations to be applied toward private or home schools costs. The amount of these vouchers could be set according to household income.

In conclusion, this recession will turn out being a good thing for the nation in many respects. Those out of work will become innovative and pull themselves up. Maybe private corporations will start funding small business start-ups, wouldn’t that be refreshing? Instead of the very rich paying more money to a spendaholic government, they could help small businessmen directly through grants.

• Many think taxing the rich is the answer. These people think that more government spending will bring us out of the recession faster. Heritage Foundation economic policy expert Brian Riedl dispels the stimulus myth, lays out the evidence that government spending does not end recessions--and presents the evidence for what does end recessions.
• During the 1930s, New Deal lawmakers doubled federal spending--yet unemployment remained above 20 percent until World War II.
