policyspeak

Because for students today, this part of the law is about more than a bit of policyspeak.

It describes the section of the Elementary and Secondary Schools Act, or ESEA, which regulates how federal money goes out to districts, and the nation is going to be hearing a lot more about this bit of policyspeak over the next few days.

On one level, it shows the power that policyspeak alone still has in controlling this money and many argue the stretch for yield during the first four months of the year prompted the Fed to deliberately fire its verbal shots across the bow.

Raines also has no patience for Washington policyspeak, or political euphemism.
