A Much Better Proposal


The Late, Great State of California, mired in a financial disaster largely self-made, is considering now if they can save money by halting Welfare Payments: (Budget plan could doom CalWORKS aid to families, children). Thus truly "Ending Welfare As We Know It."
Well.
I have a better idea.
Close the schools! It's pretty obvious that they aren't doing much good anyway. If you look at the state of the California Civic Body - the voters, that is. They want Money. They want State Services. They Don't want to spend the Money on the State Services. Ahhh, the sweet smell of Something-For-Nothing. It's pretty clear that all that money spent on Civics Classes and Math and Economics Classes has been money wasted. Why keep spending on something that doesn't work?
Prop. 13 didn't cause the collapse of the once-heralded California State School System. It proved that the education system had already failed, having produced a voting population of Idiots!
So It's Time, People: Let's finish the job. Close The Schools. Maybe the kids will end up smarter than their parents.
It's certainly worth a try.

A postscript: One of my most diligent readers, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, has already begun to implement my suggestion. Apparently, we'll begin by giving up Textbooks (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/jun/09/arnold-schwarzenegger-school-textbooks-ebooks). Followed, one presumes, by closing the classrooms and letting the teachers go.
Way to go Arnold!
