“Education is obviously not the issue Senator McCain spends the most time on,”

Title: McCain Calls for Limited U.S. Role in Schools
Author:Sam Dillon

John McCain wants to increase teachers wages if they show that they are doing a good job by showing that their kids have higher test scores. He believes that the federal government should have a limited role in public education. He would make it easier for students who are failing to get tax-payed tutors. He wants to make some changes to the No Child Left Behind act but does not yet want to let out specifics. He would make the government check the tutors to see if they were up to par, and if they are, he would let them directly market to parents.

My question is, if McCain does is not very concerned with public education, and wants the government to have a limited role, why does he get to handle the money? He wants to spend the money differently, for more bonus pays, instead of having more supplies for schools.
