Mech is the epitome of ignorance. Everything he posts is based upon lies, half-truths, spin or good old fashioned ignorance. Hypocrisy (as was pointed out) is another hallmark of the disturbed entity that is Mech. It's amazing how someone complains about the imaginary things this government is supposedly doing, yet he does not do a thing to change it...like voting...all the while he is receiving government benefits from the very people he hates so much. Here we see Mech, in addition to ignorant, is also the epitome of hypocrisy. |

FW: "-- Name for me one time Republicans ever cut school budgets, and back it up with evidence. I'll bet you can't do it.--"
OOPS...It's happening right now. (Gasp)!
Just ask Gov. (R) Mitt Romney
http://www.massteacher.org/news/headlines/news_2003-03-03.cfm
*******************************************************************
The budget that Gov. Mitt Romney unveiled on Wednesday, Feb. 26, will have a severe impact on the quality of education for students in the Commonwealth and on the rights of educators and staff, preK through graduate school.
***********************************************************************
OOPS..The HOUSE is doing it too!
Just a taste..
*
o Elimination of $18 million for class size reductin
o $10 million (21% cut) from Early Childhood Education. (However, the House budget does return the Community Partnership for Children program to the Department of Education.)
o $7.7 million (58% cut) from early literacy programs
o Elimination of school transportation reimbursements, a 37% cut in regional transportation and requiring local districts to pick up the cost of transportation for non-public school children
o Elimination of requirement that $125 per-pupil be spent on professional development
o Elimination of funding for new school building projects
o Reducing MCAS remediation program from $50 to $10 million (80% cut), despite the fact that the graduation requirement remains in place
o Reducing funding for the full-day kindergarten grant program by $5 million (18% cut)
o A 10% cut to METCO ($1.5 million)
o Removes the $70 million trust fund that funds the Master Teacher program and re-directs the money to the uncompensated care pool and the stabilization fund

Mech...I think you need to do a little bit more research into what is meant by "cuts". In government-speak, when they say cuts, they are usually talking about cuts in the projected budget increase....Which is actually an increase in funding over last years amount, but less than projected. Ergo….It is not a true cut at all. It's a little gimmick that politicians have used for years to whine and complain and make the false case that they never get enough tax payer money.
This is one area where I disagree with Bush, because he has increased government spending without any "REAL" cuts in his current budget. If the house ways and means committee is proposing REAL cuts, then I applaud them, but certainly these aren't coming from the Bush administration. Bush has actually proposed a huge increase in government spending but less than Democrats want....so Democrats always call that a "cut"...
And btw, increases in spending never equate to increases in education quality. It has never happened because the liberals in control of the education system are so corrupt that the vast majority of that money never makes it to the school kids for which it is intended. Any increases in school spending inevitably get absorbed and swallowed up into the black hole of ever increasing and complex liberal controlled bureaucracy...and quality of education inevitable declines as a result. This has been a trend as consistent as clock work. Hence there is no historical correlation between increases in spending and quality of education.
But I think if you check these out, these are not true cuts. They are cuts in the projected budget increase…which are actually increases in spending. |

FW, you are a complete @$$H()l3....
Parents are actually WALKING their kids to school because there is NO MONEY to go around for busing. Either that or the have to drive them.
All I have to say is..kids are the future...you can say they are not cuts but as far as I am concerned they are..
You'll do anything to tow the party line....even if it's wrong.
Shame. |
