Obama's New Spending Proposal
Today I heard that Obama has a new proposal. It is to have government provide preschool for those ages 0 to 5. The estimated cost is $10 Billion. Do we really think this is all it will cost?
Age – SSA’s 2008 estimated population in that age group
0 - 3,948,269
1 - 3,933,651
2 - 3,929,484
3 - 3,933,759
4 - 3,945,410
Total 19,690,573. The cost then is projected at $507.86 per child, this is just plain stupid. The average cost in Indiana of a student in public education is $6,000 per student. This means that Obama projects about 9% of those ages 0 to 5 of the targeted age group, would participate, yet he envisions every child participating. I guess childhood is now under attack.
We need less government, not more. The more individual responsibility the government takes the less disposable income we all have.
