They’re running out of other people’s money.

I’ve never heard anyone say “Were it not for the great schools I’d move out of Chicago.”

There’s a term for this: generational theft.

Resetting passwords to crack down on fraud? How about investigate and prosecute?

Detroit public schools will not be able to make payroll in less than a month from recent reports. Democrats: making sow’s ears from silk purses for over 100 years.

During my adventures in urban schools there seemed to be a very high rate, not so much of theft (everything is locked up and tallied), but of destruction of supplies and physical things. That doesn’t change without there being very excellent discipline.

This is a serious problem for the Democrats.

The Shills are realizing that there’s been a Shortcake.

That’s how The Grifter loses Shills.

The Long Con is in serious trouble.

The most intelligent and well-adjusted kids I know come from a home-schooled background (either at home or in a type of co-op). Public schools have become a total waste as far as education is concerned. But they are effective as day care.

Washington is forcing the military into a 401K type of pension and doing away with the 50% at 20 years.

Time for public employees to go the same route.

Pensions for teachers have the teachers contributing to pay for it with a little from government.
Reduce pensions to the size of contributions. Unless the contributions were stolen then put those who took money into jail.

If pensions matched contributions there should never be a gap to fill.

Re: They’re running out of other people’s money.

I don't think so. Yet. You have to work a little harder at “thinking like a liberal”. Have they tried targeting a penalty tax at the families who have fled the Chicago Public School System? They could create a “privilege” tax on parents who send their children to private schools or who homeschool. Speaking of “privilege”, since white privileges is such a hot topic these days, perhaps they could simply create a “white privilege” tax. That should fill those Chicago Public School coffers in no time!

Yes.

Elementary school is really where the problem is.

The unprepared child leaves the warmth of home for the emotional free-for-all of elementary school.

It helps civilize the children from homes with weak or no parents, but at a cost to the children who do come from homes with strong parents.

I suppose the hope is that the kids from strong homes will “socialize” the kids from weak homes. That’s an awful lot to ask of untrained 8 year olds.

The only way to understand the leaders of the Democrat Party is to understand “Confidence Games” (Con Games).

That entails a study of con games.

In that study, you will find that con men (and women) have their own language. They developed it to communicate quickly with each other and to keep outsiders from understanding what they are saying and doing.

The better we understand con men and con games, the better we will understand the Democrat Party.

And the better we understand the Democrat Party, the more easily we can defeat it.

Democrat = someone who will give your hard-earned gains to someone else, enslaving them with ‘just enough’, in order to get that person’s vote and thus perpetuate the Demcrat’s hold on power.

That’s all you need to know.

$725 million bond issue for ongoing operations. No wonder Chiraq’s bond rating is in the toilet. See tagline.
