I often disagree with what Cato recommends, but I respect their integrity. Where is there evidence that spending more money on trying to educate the illegitimate children of single mothers and violent street criminals improves their academic performance?You can post your bullshit cart all day, and it doesn't become less bullshit.
If the Cato Institute had their way, only the rich would get educated.
Democrats almost always think the answer to a problem is to throw more (of other people’s) money at.I often disagree with what Cato recommends, but I respect their integrity.

Education is an example. In DC, the amount of money spent per pupil is almost twice that of neighboring Fairfax County, and yet the Fairfax County kids have much superior scores and grades.

What reduces the crime rate is more punishment for criminals.Is it your personal belief that MORE uneducated, penniless, hopeless young people out in the streets will reduce the crime rate? Really?

Why should we waste good resources on bad students? If you think all but a tiny minority of the illegitimate children of unmarried welfare mothers and violent street criminals can be educated, spend a year or two as a substitute teacher in slum schools.The thing is, CATO thinks the government spending money on ANYTHING that might take dressage horses away from the rich is a waste, so of course, their graph is going to relfect that.
The problem is, their chart shows ALL public school students, black and white. Scores have remained about the same. Not sure why they should get any better, really. You are always going to have some bright kids and some dumb kids.
What you need is equality in resources.
What reduces the crime rate is more punishment for criminals.
From 1961 to 1968 the prison population in the United States declined from 220,142 to 187,274.
The 1960's was a time of broadly based economic growth.
In 1980 the total prison population in the United States was 503,600. By 2019 this had grown to 2,086,600.
And the Democrats are heading us off in the wrong direction….decriminalizing crimes and eliminating bail for the purposes of “racial equity.” We see the results.What reduces the crime rate is more punishment for criminals.
From 1961 to 1968 the prison population in the United States declined from 220,142 to 187,274.
During this time the crime rate per 100,000 people rose from 1,906.1 to 3,370.2

Incarceration Statistics
Statistics show mass incarceration is on the rise: Approximately two million people are incarcerated today, compared to roughly 500,000 in 1980.
During this time the crime rate per 100,000 inhabitants had declined from 5,950.0 in 1980 to 2,489.3 in 2019.

So you see that punishment works. From 1980 to 2019 poverty increased because of cuts in welfare spending and because the economy had become more competitive.
The high cost of incarceration can be reduced by the thorough exploitation of prison labor, the frequent use of capital and corporal punishment, and the end to educational and recreational opportunities.
In addition, we need to give the police more funding, and more power.
The real difference is the suburban schools have a greater percentage of married parents who emphasize the value of education as opposed to the inner-cities with single parents, often with drug problems.The thing is, CATO thinks the government spending money on ANYTHING that might take dressage horses away from the rich is a waste, so of course, their graph is going to relfect that.

That's not true, either.

So while marginally less, certainly not "half" as you claim.
Of course, there's more to it than that. City schools have to spend more on security. They have to spend more on ESL and EIP programs. Of course, like most big city schools, they have to spend more on administration. But the real difference is the suburban schools are more affluent and can attract a better quality teacher.
What you say is true. The Democrats have learned nothing from the failures of the 1960's, just as Republicans have not learned that tax cuts for the rich do not balance the budget, and they do not benefit people who are not rich.And the Democrats are heading us off in the wrong direction….decriminalizing crimes and eliminating bail for the purposes of “racial equity.” We see the results.

I have talked to people who have tried to teach those "at risk youths."
Since most of the attacks on Asians have been by whites, it more likely than a white person is doing it.We could ask a black member but they're probably out pushing some helpless little old Asian lady down a flight of stairs

Do you just make up lies with nothing to support it? The majority of attacks on Asians have been by blacks, and next by Hispanics.Since most of the attacks on Asians have been by whites, it more likely than a white person is doing it.

You seem to be improving the intellectual quality of your posts. Keep trying.bullshit
I'm an individual, not a statistic.Asians make up 6% of the population and 26% of the incoming class at Harvard.. They are doing fine.
No, you haven’t.Why should we waste good resources on bad students? If you think all but a tiny minority of the illegitimate children of unmarried welfare mothers and violent street criminals can be educated, spend a year or two as a substitute teacher in slum schools.

There is not much that can be done to teach the illegitimate children of unmarried welfare mothers, and violent street criminals. With notable exceptions they turn out to be just as worthless, useless, and dangerous as their parents.Democrats almost always think the answer to a problem is to throw more (of other people’s) money at.

That's a stupid comment. We're all individuals and stats are used to solve problems. Individualism is a crutch used to deny things.I'm an individual, not a statistic.
