another Republican failure

Republican failures just keep coming:
The Bush administration's top education official admitted on Thursday that the U.S. college financial aid system is broken.
With scandal sweeping through the $85-billion student loan business, Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings told a congressional panel there is a desperate need for change.

Committee chairman George Miller grilled Spellings at a hearing about what he said was chronic inaction by her agency.
"The U.S. Department of Education has been conspicuously missing in action," said the California Democrat.
