I agree - we should get rid of all forms of subsidized programs that are not, nor ever were, in the Constitution. Publicly funded farms, schools, shelters, charities, arts, emergency funds, pensions, etc. should be abolished. There are tons of stories of this sort in every "project" the government ever started.
It's ironic that the same swine who gripe about the military paying too much for a widget want the government to pay for something that no sane person would with his own money.
Public schools would never survive if we had to write checks for their services.
I've been stationed here in Massachusetts for several years and am amazed at how much each child costs to "educate". I'm also surprised at how many homosexuals and deviants are in the education business. Do a google search on "fistgate" and you'll see what I mean.
What is fistgate? I don't like to do searches for questionable sites, my kids use my computer, too.
I would like to teach high school English, but since my degree is "only" in English Literature, with a minor in history, and I've been a professional writer for 20 years, I would have to return to school for four more years to learn how to teach (even though I've taught in technical schools) and get my "certificate." It stinks!
