Reading Rangel's own statements, I don't think his argument has anything to do with education...but rather economics and the notion of "shared" sacrifice.

While I don't completely agree with his argument, Rangel does make a very valid point.

One one hand the War on Terror is being pitched as the single greatest threat to Western civilization this century, yet on the other we're being told to just "keep shopping" while the government cuts taxes and continues to rack up the national debt for our children.

To Rangel's point...shouldn't this sacrifice be shared among all Americans (including corporate interests) if the stakes are really that high?
