Senator Charles E. Grassley—a leading critic of low spending from colleges and university endowments—proposed stricter disclosure requirements in federal tax filings for schools on Monday, suggesting a willingness to stop short of threatened legislation on the issue. “I would like to ask [federal agencies] to develop a Form 990 schedule for colleges and universities,” Grassley said in reference to the form required for tax-exempt and non-profit organizations. He added that he wanted a specialized form to require information about “student populations or costs...
...Wasilla or New York certainly influences one’s worldview in meaningful ways. But when such concerns come to supercede all others—when a culture war trumps the Iraq war and Barack Obama’s preference for arugula becomes more important than his tax policy—then American politics sink to a level that makes waging real debates over the direction of this country impossible.

...power of the teachers unions; offering a form of wage insurance for those who lose high-paying factory jobs and have to take low-paying service jobs - but there weren't any new ones. McCain's energy plan sounded just like Obama's, without the closing of loopholes and tax breaks for big oil companies that Obama (and apparently Sarah Palin, who passed a windfall-profits tax) favors. But he failed to disarm Obama's most potent criticism: that he essentially favors the same policies - especially the economic policies - as George W. Bush. And it wasn't corruption that caused...
