Slightly tangential: Ask a lib how much is enough. They can never give you an answer. All they ever say is we need more money for X, in this case education. Second question to ask is What did we get for the last increase in funds? Show us the results. Tell us how much test scores improved, truancy decreased, graduation rates increased. They can never show a correlation. They can only repeat their mantra: give us more money.
We’re facing the same thing in Pennsylvania. Democrat Tom Wolf continues to tell the lie that Republican incumbent Tom Corbett cut education spending when he actually increased it, and fact checking confirms it. But wolf’s ads and his supporters continue to advance the lie.
You gotta understand that Dems use Common Core mathematics, in which their numbers actually work.
They aren’t known as the Stupid Party for no reason. At times I think they are the Ostrich Party.
