I heard the commercial, it's a bunch of crap. THey claim if you send your kids to preschool it helps fight crime, reduce their dependence on welfare, etc. What a load of crap.
They claim attendance isn't mandatory, i bet it will become mandatory or they will just blow all this money down some public drainhole. Tax the Rich to pay for the children? Give me a break, when i become rich i'm moving to a different state, i'm already thinking about moving out of california, i don't want to be some commie bastards cash cow.
Preschool has good results now because of involved parents. Just sending a kid to preschool without parental involvement will not get the same results and to claim it will be the same is makes the speaker a liar.
The commercials are not sponsored directly by Meathead's campaign. That would cost money.
The commercials are paid for by California's First 5, using 100% tax money. Many suggest this arrangement is clearly illegal but it would be impossible to get Lockyer to prosecute his friend and heavy campaign donor.
