An iPod for every child, even I think this is ridiculous
Apple iPod’s to be standard classroom requirements for every child in Michigan? That’s what politicians are pushing for. Times are tough (financially), but will the cost of putting an iPod (or other MP3 player) be worth it?
We have come to the conclusion that the crisis Michigan faces is not a shortage of revenue, but an excess of idiocy. Facing a budget deficit that has passed the $1 billion mark, House Democrats Thursday offered a spending plan that would buy a MP3 player or iPod for every school child in Michigan.
No cost estimate was attached to their hare-brained idea to “invest” in education. Details, we are promised, will follow.
Their plan goes beyond cluelessness. Democrats are either entirely indifferent to the idea that extreme hard times demand extreme belt tightening, or they are bone stupid. We lean toward the latter.
Personally, I think such an idea is ridiculous! Ridiculous I tell you! What are your thoughts?
