Good to hear states/districts are not just raping the budgets for the kids with handicaps

Not to worry. We don't need smartasses from this less than 5% of the world. The planet will become a homogenized mass where more than 99% of the over population will serve the wants of the isolated, insulated, few with P$O$W$E$R. You are only sower grapes because you and your children and their children will not be among of them.

here, not only are we cutting the school budget by hundreds of millions, we are increasing the prison, et al budget.

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?

While intuitively appealing, that cause and effect is unsupported by the data.

Irony, you gotta love irony. I find humor in the fact that the school budget cuts generally hit the gifted or the extremely needy first. So long as you're a C student and willing to trudge along with everyone else you just end up in a bigger class.

Wyndhy, I do agree with your assessment on the worsening school systems and the increase in petty crimes. However, I would also like to point out that the prisons wouldn't be over crowded if certain things weren't illegal (I will be more than happy to have a discussion on this at a later date), and also if prisoners weren't allowed an infinite number of appeals. I am also a big supporter of the death penalty which would also cut down on number of living inmates.

Not to worry. As soon as any political entity finds a way for it to become a revenue stream for them it will no longer be illegal.
