now...follow me here...since the structure, nuance and nature of these budget cuts end up hurting city districts most (read: high per capita crime), there will be less money for after school programs. less productive stuff to do equals more crime. more crime needs more money in the budget to fight and punish. if this trend continues, in a generation's time, a city may very well be spending many times more than the initial school budget cuts per year to house and deter all the petty criminals for whom a lack of even a little good influence was tantamount to enabling.

Ohhhhh well Florida has the answer to the prison issue. We just fire all the state employees and privatize the prisons. Most are faith based so God will save us. Right? Right?
