You give Bush too little credit. By 9/11 he was already working on his first recession and had his first round of tax cuts, all part of realigning the budget and economy to serve the wealthy. So it's not just passing a bill that put in place backwards educational policy in exchange for promised funding for poor kids that he subsequently gutted that defined his agenda.
