Biden indoctrinates future OWS protesters

  You kind of lose the ability to be shocked anymore with this administration. The latest is Vice President Joe Biden's visit to 4th graders to indoctrinate them in the ways of socialism.
  Using a creepy whispery voice, Biden explains to the children that he wants those evil millionaires and billionaires to pay for more teachers at their school so they can have more personal time with their teachers and class sizes will be smaller.
  He and the Giver in Chief want to give pots of money to their school but the evil Republicans are too cheap and mean to do it.
  For the record, this isn't any way to run a school system. To take temporary federal dollars to hire temporary teachers/shrinks/aides puffs the system with artificial spending expectations. What do you do when the federal money runs out? And, of course, there are so many federal strings attached to the money that the district can only use it for certain positions or projects.
  Witness Mr. Biden schooling children in the ways of blaming fiscally responsible adults for their entitlements' shortfalls:


  What Mr. Biden does not say is that these young children who will receive this "free money" so enticingly offered will be required to pay it back for years.
  From the Heritage Foundation, as pointed out by Michelle Malkin:
Unfortunately, that responsibility will fall to the Debt-Paying Generation (ages 5-30). Currently, every citizen owns $31,871 of the national debt, but each American’s share of national debt is growing. If current spending patterns continue, by the time 5-year-olds are 45, they will each be responsible for $279,738 of the debt.

  In fact, Malkin describes where all that borrowed money went the last time around: 

So, where did all the original EduJobs money go? One survey by the Center on Education Policy found that much of the cash went to bolster fringe benefits and administrative staff. The Fordham Institute’s education analyst Chris Tessone noted: “There is no reason to expect anything but business as usual from another round of subsidies. … More subsidies just protect the status quo at great expense to taxpayers.”
While strapped, reckless-spending school districts bemoan the edge of the federal “funding cliff,” another chunk of the EduJobs money went to states that didn’t even need it — and had kept their teacher payrolls full through responsible fiscal stewardship. As education journalist Chris Moodyreported last summer, states including North Dakota, Tennessee, Arkansas and Alaska whose budgets are in the black received tens of millions in superfluous school subsidies. “Arkansas,” Moody found, “has a fully funded teaching staff for the coming year, but the state will still receive up to $91 million for teaching jobs.”
  The truth is that many of the stimulus projects were more like money laundering projects; the administration funnels millions into its pet contributors and the contributors in turn pony up lots of bucks for the reelection campaign, just like Solyndra.
  So the demonizing continues, as this administration vilifies anyone who disagrees with their crony capitalist policies.
  And children learn that the "rich" owe them. That the handout will always be there to pay for whatever project they think they need to support them. That there is no final payment due date. That they are not responsible for their own lives.  
  And, like Greece, these same children will demand to know one day why no one's paid their college tuition bills, why they can't spend their lives in a tent in a public park and why it's "mean" for people on their way to work to scream out the car window "get a job."
