That way the Michigan GOP not only gain some revenue, but probably be able get rid of even more teachers ... that&amp;#39;s a fiscal win/win - except for the teachers, the students, and the future of the country.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: 2012 House Bill 5534 (Lower high school graduation standards )</title><link>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/286364.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 24 Apr 2012 12:43:56 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">85480579-cbb1-4596-8e66-ca77d6981342:286364</guid><dc:creator>arduino123</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/286364.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=11&amp;PostID=286364</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;How about we just give diplomas to everyone - that way we would have the highest graduation rate in the country.
