Are government run pre-schools best for our kids? »
Posted By Stringcheese 1 year, 4 months ago in NewsOne of the scariest words that can be coupled with “government program” is the word universal. In the past, government run universal health care has not been popular enough in America to induce enough voters into embracing it (the same people who are in charge of FEMA, also in charge of health care? No thank you!). But now Obama is offering to “pour billions” into government-run universal Pre-K for 4-year-olds.

We don't need to have efficient government programs to make sure that
our nation's children have food and health and education .
Unless, of course, we want a strong, free, healthy america; not a 3rd world country where the rich
have a private health system, a private transportation system, a private police system, a private
education system, - well, that would be diferent.
Life is always pay as you go; there is no free lunch.
But if you can make the little people pay for your lunch, and then tell them they
should be damn grateful for the crumbs, you get a free lunch,
- or a revolution . -

Many children who had the advantage of head start were followed. The findings were conclusive. It gave them an advantage. My daughter went to head start. DANG we were poor. She blossomed. She also did well in school, and graduated with honors from UCLA.

Unless you've lived poverty, abject poverty, it's hard to understand what a child misses, that the middle class take for granted with their children. My family and I weren't supposed to make it, by the odds. But because decent people understood that once you''ve hit bottom, getting up again is nearly impossible, we were given a chance. The result? My children and I have given back more in taxes and jobs (through our businesses) than the average American ever dreamed of. We paid our debt, and we contributed more than our share. It's an investment for a society to give a damn about its people. ALL of its people. Anything else can't be called a viable society.
