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.This has to be one of the dumbest spending proposals ever. While you can get educational material from Itunes, how does the state propose to allow students to get teh material--provide every student with a computer?
No cost estimate was attached to their hare-brained idea to "invest" in education. Details, we are promised, will follow.
Leaving aside the stupidity of the idea, the funding itself is tenuous. Talk about dumb. I can't leave aise teh stupidity of the idea, sorry. This is twice as dumb as anything I have ever seen proposed by a legislator, at least since this idea.
