As Mike Tyson famously said, "Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face."

There is no such thing as "free". And much like "supporting" worthy causes by hitting a "like" button on some heartstring-plucking social media post, versus publicly organizing and funding a lobbying effort to effect whatever "worthy" change people think they want, when presented with a real bill requiring real money to pay for said change, we quickly learn that virtue signals have many parents and actual virtue is an orphan.

We had a funding surplus this year. We can find the money to help people better themselves, especially since education will enable them to get better jobs in the future, generating more tax revenue as a result.

You gotta spend money to make money.
