REALITY BITING NEVADA LIBERALS IN THE BUTT!
Liberals are getting the snot kicked out of them in the Nevada
public policy debate these days; not that the media is pointing it out. Some examples…
Liberals have been telling us that lower taxes aren’t what
companies are looking for in deciding where to open operations. Then Tesla comes into Nevada because of…lower
taxes.
Liberals have been telling us that companies aren’t moving to
Nevada because we’re not dumping enough money into education. Then Tesla comes to Nevada despite our awful
schools.
Liberals say to fix those awful schools, we need to spend
more money on them. Then we find out
this week that not one of the fourteen “zoom” schools that got a whopping $39.4
million in EXTRA funding last year improved their academic performance
rating.
In fact, four of them were downgraded!
Liberals say that smaller class sizes and a longer school
year will fix education. But “zoom” schools
restrict kindergarten class sizes to 21 students and the school year was
extended by 17 days.
And despite the Legislature putting more money, not less,
into education, 73 Clark County schools were downgraded in their rating for the
last school year…and that’s using a rating scale that the Las Vegas
Review-Journal reports is considered by some to be “too lenient.”
Indeed, you can earn the highest rating – 5 stars – with a
score as low as 77 out of 100. And you
can chalk up a “C” – 3 stars – with a score as low as 50 out of 100…which in
the real world is considered total failure.
The reality is, the ONLY way to fix public education
is to give parents vouchers so they can send their kids somewhere other than a
public school.
MUTH’S TRUTHS
CORRECTION: In Saturday’s Silver State Confidential I mentioned “Conservative Republican Jim Wheeler’s plan to introduce a bill
next session to kill the ridiculous, anti-job Modified Business Tax in Nevada.” However, I inadvertently added “(D-Gardnerville)”
after his name.
Terribly Ralstonesque of
me to make such a typo. Jim Wheeler is
definitely NOT a Democrat.
In Sunday night’s NFL game ‘tween “Da Bears” and the Santa
Clara 49’ers - playing in their new stadium for the first time - 49’er quarterback and UNR alumnus Colin Kaepernick received what is
believed to have been the first-ever penalty for using “inappropriate language.”
WTF?
Kaepernick denies saying anything “inappropriate,” but even
if he did, so what? This is FOOTBALL,
not Sunday school! The NFL apparently
now stands for “No Foul Language.”
Here’s
one of the best arguments ever in favor of the death penalty: “Convicted killer
on parole stabs woman to death, eats her brains."
Had Joseph Oberhansley
been given the chair after “killing his 17-year-old girlfriend and shooting her
mother near Salt Lake City in 1998,” he wouldn’t have been paroled and Tammy Jo Blanton wouldn’t have been cannibalized.
FAMOUS LAST WORDS
“On tax policy, and perhaps in other areas, ‘stupider than
France’ is not where one would choose to be.” - Grover Norquist
