So poor peeps can't give their kids a decent education. NOT cool, not viable.

The only way around this is for the government to pay for public schooling and its security. I'm amazed I'm saying this, but if this is what it takes for our kids to be safe, then so be it.

I'm a firm believer in a strong milifary, but enough already with the overruns on new projects. Screw the F35, screw the V22 Osprey, and screw the new King Stallion helos at a cost of $120mm each. More money for SAFE education of kids, less money for the fatcat contractors.
