It’s official...This country has lost its freakin mind.
Taxpayers subsidize families with schoolchildren, to go to school.
In-frickin-credible.
I’m almost waiting for the day Obama lets Iran launch the overhead nuke that takes out all our electronics. Let them try and collect taxes then.

Like Willie Green’s, every rider on every trip is subsidized trains, the Democrats now have to pay people to fill the seats of their union, hack contractors, hiring a politicians dumb as a stump daughter at the employment dump, the public school.
Even the poor are fleeing, like East Germans from East Germany, the schools. And, why not? Why stay in a mind killing school and not learn, from those that are stupid, don’t know their subject, and can not teach, when you can at least be out on the streets, away from the public school dump, and what? You don’t have skills. Well, that’s the same as if you stayed at government schools.
I’d say now a days, a kid has a better chance outside of most urban schools, then inside.
If something doesn’t work, throw money at it.
So what else is new?
wish idve thought that up...

Somehow I doubt there will be many $900 checks getting cashed.
When I was a youngster, we also had a BIG INCENTIVE to attend school.
It was called ‘getting a big *ss whipping from your dad’.
