Ustwo.....I would urge you to look at Bush's original budget requests over the last three years for NCLB.......not the final budget numbers approved by Congress. BTW, I dont particularly like NCLB, as much as I dont like a Pres who supports it, but doesnt fund it.
Look at Bush's budget request for the EISA in his latest budget.
If you really want to know more. When you're ready, we can have a discussion about budget authorizations, budget appropriations, budget obligations and budget outlays
