Is it worth it?

The words stick in my craw: 3 yr and 4 yr olds from both city and county, a grant a process, latch key too, consider the advantages, accreditation from NAEYC, academic program, 5 years renewed, a 10- point check list - positive relationships, development of physical, mental and emotional faculties, efficient approach, assessment, fully funded, evaluations and testing along the way, compliance, nutrition and health between children and staff, qualified, certified teachers and staff, a safe, healthy physical environment and high quality service - a $35.00 fee on a sliding income scale, each year a study and surveyed of #’s and %’s for ... 116 kids?

Is this worth it? Millions of taxpayer dollars down a boondoggle? A community with a population base of approximately 30,000 with a government-funded grant to ‘run’ a pre-school program for 116 kids? I should ask why the $35.00 fee? But instead I dare to ask a sensible question - when will insanity inspired by liberals stop running this country?

Since an enraged, angry woman can never hope to achieve the White House, I must present my other face to the average American as I say "ME TOO. I too could lead this nation. I’m not an elitist, a politician a rich, power-hungry ego maniacal, out-of-touch bureaucrat. What will it take to get rid off all such waste and nonsense as the above pre-school program? My other face hopes and believes America can do better. We Americans can defend ourselves, pay our own way, raise our own children, educate ourselves as we advance in age and grace, take responsibility for our actions, put decency and kindness back on the front page of the book on daily living authored by God (of whom we are not ashamed) and put government intervention on the last page of the index when it belongs.
