LIBERAL FANTASY

One of the great LIBERAL fantasies, among many, is that "schools will be better if we just throw more money at them." We have been doing that for eons and our kids are dumber than ever and the graduation rate is abysmal... below 50% in many places. Yet this morning, the Sarasota Herald Fishwrapper proudly proclaims on page one "state set to boost education funding" by more than ONE BILLION dollars next year. What a relief. Our kids will no longer be the uninformed little idiots they were this year. Thank you, legislature.

This universal solution is long overdue. It is clearly a "fact of life" that results are just a function of how much money you spend on something. All one has to do is look at how much we have already spent on the FEDERAL Department of Education, and the Sarasota School Board to see the PROOF in this pudding. IF that were the solution, surely with EACH increase in spending, the educational level would have improved. Yet, like all well intentioned stupid plans, it NEVER works. So we do it again and again with more money and expect a different result. After this snowstorm of funding once again FAILS to make a dent in IDIOOCRACY, we will do the same thing again next year.
