WASHINGTON - NBC viewer polls indicate that 86% of Americans approve of the president’s latest measures to turn control of the nations school districts back over to local communities. 

Employ America 2001

Bush’s earliest initiative, Employ America 2001, allowed school boards to sell their facilities to the highest local commercial bidder. Since then, companies like Walmart and Mcdonalds have experienced radical expansions as they've absorbed thousands of school districts and watched their stocks skyrocket while Wall Street continues to speculate about the unprecedented economic influence this program has given to big franchises.

Latest Reform Measures

Bush’s latest measures include a proposed bill that would make automobile, cell phone, stereo, vacuum cleaner, and television ownership mandatory for all people seeking economic assistance from the government.  “This will help to further stimulate growth in the private sector and encourage our human resource material [kids] to stay in locally controlled schools where they can learn the valuable skills required in today’s workplace,” announced bush in last weeks State of The Corporate Union address. Later, when asked why blenders, food processors, stoves, and cuttlery would not be included in this mandate, Bush rolled his eyes and gestured toward the McDonalds’s golden arches emblem on the revised US flag, “There are plenty of decent restaurants to eat at.
