A few days make a big difference. Over 15 years, changing the date of eligibility for Kindergarten would save $9 billion or $700 million year--if you believe the story. Read the fine print.
"A bill by state Sen. Joe Simitian (D-Palo Alto) would do more than remedy the situation. By phasing in a Sept. 1 cutoff date, it would save California more than $9 billion over 15 years an average of nearly $700 million annually during the years when it would be fully implemented. And it would put half the savings into preschool for low-income students who are too young for kindergarten, which would make them all the more prepared for a successful public school career starting with that first year in the big K."
In other words, the money meant for education will go into baby sitting, naptime and kindergarten, without the name. This sets up another entitlement--meaning no savings, but higher spending than we have today--by changing the name of the facility--that is really ALL this bill does.
Guess the Democrats think we are too stupid to understand their goal--control of children at a younger age and higher taxes to pay for it.
Why do we put up with this corruption?
