And this is Why You Don't Privatize Education

[IM2]

Some services should not be for profit. There are some things the govenrment should provide for its citizens. Education is one of them. Leaving education to the decisions based on profit margins is insane. It creates this:

TEXAS TAX DOLLARS ALLEGEDLY DIVERTED TO OUT-OF-STATE CHARTER SCHOOLS FOUNDED BY HOUSTON SUPERINTENDENT MIKE MILES​

In a recent report by FOX 26, it's been unveiled that funds amounting in the millions, earmarked for Texas' public schools, have wound up bolstering the accounts of out-of-state charter schools established by Mike Miles, a notable figure in Texan education. Miles, the current superintendent of the Houston Independent School District following his appointment by the Texas Education Commissioner Mike Morath, reportedly diverted Texas education tax dollars to a network of charter schools he conceived before assuming the role.

Privatizing schools means that there's no gubmint loot to steal and divert somewhere else, fool.

You obviously flunked your vocab test in your gubmint school.

We call that "Embezzlement" and it's a crime.

So, one person does something illegal and the entire program is at fault? Imagine how much money retirees would be receiving from social security they could have privatized social security into mutual funds. People would actually be able to retire on decent incomes. President Bush attempted to get that started but Democrats want to keep people from living long and keep them in poverty.

Lol, no.

When are you kids gonna actually learn what these big words you throw around mean?

"Private" means not in the hands of The State, sub-moron.

So you have a single example ... now .. how about public school systems, like those in Maryland and Oregon, where students are graduating with little to no proficiency in basic classes like math, reading and writing? Some school systems even reduce or remove requirements for basic classes like math.

Yeah .. this is what happens when government provides education for its citizens ... dumbasses because of reduced educational requirements for "equitable" outcomes.

Yep. And notice who jumps in to defend this scum. The people who use one example of a fake hate crime to say all hate crimes are made up, one black right winger to say we all need to think like that black person, or one example from a liberal to make sweeping judgement of all liberals. These MAGATS always have an excuse.

And we ALL KNOW, but some won't admit it, that those people 50-90 years ago, would NOT have taken the savings and invested it for a better investment.
I'll admit that maybe less than 5% would have done what you suggest, but 95% would have spent it, leaving them with LESS than what they have today, through SS.

SS is a Blessing for many of the Elders.

They DO?
Do you have a LINK to this claim?

Honestly, Do YOU think That YOU could pass the basic Math Requirements to Graduate?
Or pass the State EOC Exam or even pass the Math GED?

Nobody is defending anything....You simply are too fucking stupid to understand what "private" means.

Yet another glittering jewel of gubmint schooling.

You misunderstand what Bush was proposing. We still would not have had access to that money until we retired. And, we would not have been allowed to just take it out. It would have been more like a variable annuity in which a set amount based on age would be paid each month like SS is today. Only, instead of the approximately average of $1,600/mo. being paid out, it would be well over $4,000 now. Just 5% of SS money would have really made that difference.

Through all that, it still wouldn't have been "privatized", if the English language means anything to you.

Yes. But it is false that he wanted to start with a third of social security. He wanted to start with 5%. I remember his very clearly. Also, as Reagan stated, revising and privatizing would not affect social security because it solely comes from employers and employees. What the Democrats and stupid Republicans wanted is for the money to continue to go into the general fund so they could use that money for their pet projects. As the markets have done very well for the past 20 years, that small amount would make a huge difference in people's retirement today.

If they had the choice to invest that money themselves?
Or something else?

We would have had private accounts with investment funds like variable annuities. The government would have kept the dividends and we would get capital gains and the growth of the funds as well. At the end, combined with non-privatized social security, we would have had a lot more money at retirement.
