flip2 said:In Florida, if memory serves me correctly, a portion of the lottery goes to the education department of Florida.
Hey, how about this instead. Your kids, your bill. You have kids, you alone have to pay for their education instead of having everyone pay for the rugrats. You use the system, you pay for it. No more socialism.flip2 said:Here's a novel idea: When money is earmarked for education, how about the money earmarked for education actually go to education.

Libertarian said:Then when the money started pouring in from the lottery, they raided the previously earmarked school money and took it to spend on their other big government pork barrel projects, now they want bond issues passed, which is Democratic party double speak for loans with interest, and each time they say we need to do it for the children.
I have never met a Democrat who didn't like a tax hike.
Our country would be very chaotic without SOME socialism. Education, for instance is good for all in society. The more educated people, the better off out country will be. Look at the prison system, for instance, most of our inmates are uneducated. I would rather pay for education than pay for prisons. In the long run it is cheaper.shuamort said:Hey, how about this instead. Your kids, your bill. You have kids, you alone have to pay for their education instead of having everyone pay for the rugrats.

These legislators need to be tried, sentenced and hanged for treason.
The country would be better off with less educated people have babies. Or people with only larger bank accounts having babies. Are you advocating those as well?Citizen said:Our country would be very chaotic without SOME socialism. Education, for instance is good for all in society.

This is why I favor a mixed economy. Not everything should be state controlled, but not everything should be privately controlled. Education is important because it makes our nation smarter. A smarter nation is better equipped to compete in the world. It doesn't help if only those that can afford eduction are educated. We should probably have more funding as our society falls behind nations like Japan which value education much more than us. Having more educated people may cost everybody money, but in the end it does our nation good and makes us stronger.Citizen said:Our country would be very chaotic without SOME socialism.

No, Are you. Although it is true that more educated people have less children. If we only allowed people with large bank accounts to have babies, this country would not be better off. Our country would be under populated. That is a silly premise in my opinion. :roll:shuamort said:The country would be better off with less educated people have babies.

What proof do you offer that the country would not be better off if we were underpopulated?Citizen said:No, Are you. Although it is true that more educated people have less children.

Fewer Americans for labor, Fewer Americans for Armed forces is not good for our country. What do you think?shuamort said:What proof do you offer that the country would not be better off if we were underpopulated?
Fewer americans for labor would also mean fewer products in services. Since there aren't as many people, why would we need the same amount of products and services? Yes armed forces, but the small the population, the fewer the crimes as well.Citizen said:Fewer Americans for labor, Fewer Americans for Armed forces is not good for our country. What do you think?
The reason why we are a rich and powerful nation is because we export many goods and services. Small nations will never have the power we have. The Soviet Union was, at one time, competition and China could be as well, but other than China, no other nation in the world can compete with us.shuamort said:Fewer americans for labor would also mean fewer products in services.
