You liberals with your heads in the clouds are also what's collapsing the system. It's awful that people are poor. Now. Feel better? Back to reality. Their [b]needs which grow exponentially because liberals enable[/b] them is collapsing the system. We'll all suffer then- including your precious snowflakes.[/quote]

It's always interesting to see people who obviously have no idea whatsoever what they're talking about yet are so sure of their positions.  If you take a few minutes to learn about the actual public policy issues facing DCPS (get "back to reality"), you'll realize that improving schools and providing effective early childhood services REDUCES the need for future government services.  Kids who finish school are less likely to end up in prison and more likely to spend their lives paying taxes.  Kids who have special needs detected and addressed early need fewer services over the course of their lives and are better positioned to work and be productive.

I know for some people it's fun to say childish things like "the problems are from the 47% who are takers" based on absolutely no information, and that's now what passes for serious political discussion in this country.  But it really is high time to put away these childish things.  As grownups, we need to soberly look at policy choices and figure out what's best for our kids, our neighbors and our country, not merely repeat talking points and slogans in order to wrap our ignorance and selfishness in self satisfied pride.

You are absolutely correct PP.  It's shameful but such a dangerous reality that people like the PP you are responding to have fora and resources to keep spreading ridiculous misinformation (like blaming liberals and getting it totally wrong what actually happens with low-income communities).  And the craziest part is they think they know what they're talking about, even though nothing in reality supports their overly simplistic and WRONG views.  Well, nothing except other similarly "blame the poor and the liberals"-minded people.  [/quote]
