(62,325 posts)go when money is not unlimited?
I am of the opinion that if there is all that money to give to Corporations to fund schools that are not required to meet the same standards for teachers, for which children are acceptable or not, and the necessary profit for the operators of these private ventures, then money IS, in the minds of the privatizers, unlimited.
And I also think that Public Funds should go to the Public services they are intended for.
And that every dime taken out of those public funds for profiteers, is cheating those for whom it was intended.
So maybe spending that money on those public schools rather than closing them to make way for profiteers, would be the more Democratic thing to do.
But then Rahm is a Third Way 'democrat', closer to the Heritage Foundation than to those who initiated these Public services where everyone has a chance to get an education.
We so badly need another FDR at this point in time.
We sure don't need any more Rahms.
