Education Denial

This Just in... Underfunded schools do in fact exist.

If it weren't so serious it would be funny. For millions of Americans the fact that many rural and urban public schools are woefully underfunded is a blindingly obvious fact everyday life....

...but when the ideological politicians get word the cries are loud and predictable.

"Throwing money at the problem is not the solution!"

"We already spend too much on education!"

and the even more mind-boggling

"We should leave education to he private sector!"

Some of my best friends are libertarians, but every once in a while one has to wonder what planet people who say such things are living on. On my Earth, the difference between a well-funded and underfunded school is abundantly clear, I've seen both up close and personal.

The minute some of those in power catch on fiscal conservatism is called forth like some ancient demon from the netherealms.

Does is rear its ugly head when the time comes for political perks, porkbarrel spending and the like?

Why good heavens no! Stinginess is reserved for less important concerns....
