Education Money Silliness

The left is sure weird when looked at through a lens of reality and logic.

I don't know about where you live, but in Mecklenburg County, NC, every single year the government-run monopolistic education system ("public" education) "needs" more money. The school board asks for, and liberals (including the Charlotte Observer) demand more money.

And when they get their 25-50% increases in spending, all is good because the left can then spend money better than you know how -- on administrators and other non-education related things in the school budgets.

However, when it comes to higher education, where customers (the students) actually have to pay for their own education, suddenly it costs too much and tuition should be paid on a sliding scale (the rich pay more), AND prices should actually be CAPPED!

Now why is it that when the government is paying for education, it's simply not possible for it to cost too much, but when individuals have to pay, no matter what the actual cost, they shouldn't have to pay anything?

1 Ogre, buddy... we've gone over this. It's because the new American mentallity is something for nothing. When the government is paying, people don't see it as they are paying, even if it comes out of their taxes.

2 No matter how many times I see it, I'm still just amazed at the ability of the left to completely and utterly defy any sense of logic.
