12 posts into the thread and the key behind every political discussion comes to the fore: Follow the Money!!! In this case, the tale as old as time is told, again: money is taken by force (taxes), a large amount is skimmed in DC for operational costs (payoffs to insiders), and a paltry amount is returned in the form of grants with multiple strings to ensure favored programs continue (Common Core). The same tale and template applies every time, only the faces and programs change. Very little true value is generated by this money-laundering scheme.
