Why Exactly Does Romney Want Fewer Firefighters, Police and Teachers?

[Flaylo]

Before you useless asswipes bitch about teachers and federal workers bankrupting tax payers take the fucking time to actually research where your tax dollars go and how much of it goes it certain areas.

Policy Basics: Where Do Our Federal Tax Dollars Go? — Center on Budget and Policy Priorities

A measley fucking 2% of federal dollars go to education, at the federal level less is speant on education and infrastructure, more is spent elsewhere, how the fuck could teachers and federal employees be bankrupting taxpayers? Shove your party line lying bullshit up your asses.

 

[Political Junky]

Romney wants private fiefighters and police ... private everything.
Remember firefighters watching a house burn because they didn't pay the fee?

Why should the Federal government spend 2% of its budget on things that are not supposed to be a Federal responsibility?

So your contention is that all firefighters and police should be paid by the Federal government? What kind of nonsense is that?

Are Obama-supporters that desperate they have to resort to these kinds of absurdities?

 

[JoeB131]

This whole issue is the usual smoke and mirrors show that the defenders of big government put on every time someone tries to shrink government back to a sane level. Whenever the taxpayers get fed up and cut back their funds the people in charge of the public sector immediately start screaming about how if you do that they will have no choice but to cut teachers, firemen and cops. It's all bullshit.

Well, who do you think does get cut back when you cut government spending?

You're fucking stupid, the FBI is federal, all of your police are state and local.

You are the stupid one here. So you agree with Romney that the Federal government shouldn't be funding police at the state and local level?

American Student Performance Slips Again; China Is Number One - Education - GOOD

Your link explains why China is number one:

"The initiative shown by teachers, who are now better paid, better trained and keen to mold their own curricula. Poor teachers are speedily replaced. China has also expanded school access, and moved away from learning by rote."

So that does not support the argument we need to cut federal funds for teachers.

The argument is stronger for giving principals more power to get rid of lousy teachers, and to raise pay to attract better ones.

We have been increasing the number of teachers with no corresponding increase in student performance.

There is obviously a lot of dead wood in the system.

We do not need more teachers therefore we do not need more funds for them.

You're fucking stupid because police are funded at state and local level already, strawman argument dumbass.

Not allocating more funds is not the same as cutting funds now is it?

And IMO most schools would do fine with less teachers and less administrators.

When American students were performing well in the world we didn't have as many teachers or administrators as we do now.

Those are Federal dollars, Flaylo...the majority of money being paid to teachers is coming from local property taxes that go to cities and towns...and THOSE are the entities that are being bankrupted by ridiculous benefit packages given to teacher's unions by the Democratic politicians they've put into office with union backing. Nice try though...

 

[Katzndogz]

When did police, firefighters and teachers become a federal issue?

 

[rdean]

Romney's mistake was to put a face on those he wants to fuck over. As long as Republicans thought it was nameless, faceless bureaucrats in the back room, they were OK with it. Now they know Romney is targeting them, not so much.

 

[GoneBezerk]

The Federal Govt should not be allowed to pay for local police, firemen and teachers. So which cities get this "goodie" and which ones get left out????

Come on asswipes, explain that one.

 

[rdean]

When did police, firefighters and teachers become a federal issue?

When, for many, their salaries are paid with help from the federal government.

Who do I thing gets cut back? The parts of government that make the taxpayers squirm the most, that's who! That's the game that government plays with us, Joe. Every time we tell them enough is enough, you guys are using WAY too much money, they immediately reply by telling us that if we cut off their funds that they'll have no choice but to lay off teachers, cops and firefighters. You know as well as I do that waste is epidemic in government and that if they were spending money coming out of their own pockets instead of money coming out of ours, that they would get rid of the duplication and waste. The minute you try to cut government monies, I guarantee you that the first thing you will here is howls of protest coming from them about "hurting the children" (always a favorite!) and "putting the public at risk" (another tried and true scare tactic!). Do they ever get rid of the layer upon layer of "fat" in government? Hell, no. That never happens.
