Fred Clark, the Slacktivist, makes me laugh quoting the results of a poll of Delaware residents:The poll found broad support for full-day kindergarten for all children, which is available in only a few Delaware school districts. But the consensus broke down when it came to paying for all-day, with some saying they wanted "government" funding, others saying the "public or taxpayers" should fund it.
Bwah! I assume that far more people would prefer that the government pull the funds from its magical dragon hoard of dwarven gold than that the taxpayers should have to pony up the cash.
To be fair, in Delaware, as Clark alludes to, "the government" may be equivalent to "people driving through the state on I-95."
And also "the estate of Al Lerner," which I have long (since 1995) felt has a lot to pay for when accounts come due.
(ETA: Yeah, I feel no compunctions about going back and correcting my stupid spelling errors after people point them out to me.)
