Why is it that the Bush administration seems so hell bent on
taking away educational programs for adult learners --
directly or indirectly...?

--I think it is because they  want to expand the pool of service 
workers. Florida's biggest GOP donors included Wal-Mart,the 
cruise ship industry and theme park owners...these 
businesses need many low-wage workers. Without education 
for adult learners there will be a larger pool competing for 
service jobs. By cutting adult learning funds the pool of those 
stuck in low-wage jobs expands.
