The truth and 650 thousand trumps lies and 65 million dollars. The socialists can't understand why this can happen. Their entire problem solving consists at throwing money at the problem and when it doesn't help throw more money at it.
Not only that. The left believes that reality can be manufactured and jammed down peoples throats using money. This is what they believe happens with advertising. They believe that advertising tricks people into buying things they do not need or really even want by "slick marketing and packaging" (if you recall they used this phrase when describing Reagan's 1984 campaign).
They really believe this. They believe that advertising manufactures demand out of thin air. They never heard, or don't believe, the old saying "if your product is no good, all the advertising in the world won't get people to buy it."

That is the liberal solution to fixing the schools. We all know how great that works.
First, they throw personal attacks and a pack of lies at their critics.
You have summed up their "policy" accurately. Not only does it not help, it has been observed that it almost always makes things worse.
