"But it's for the Children" !!!!!!!!!!!!



You have heard them, we are hearing them in south Mississippi. The screams "you can't cut teacher positions, it's for the Children!!!!!!!!!!"

The Obama Administration wants to borrow another $23 billion to shore up teachers and other school employee union groups because, you guessed it, "it's for the Children!!!!!!!!!"

Really? Take a look at that graph up there: school employment has skyrocketed relative to student enrollment. Does that mean all those extra workers have driven school achievement to similarly stratospheric levels? Ha, Ha, Ha, you know the answer to that question.

So, the only children this $23 billion might help are the children of the union members. Ain't doing nothing for the kiddos in the classroom. But, that wasn't the point in the first place.
