>>100,000 new teachers<< If you want to have children, why don't you provide for their education yourself, instead of sloughing it off on everyone else? I can remember when I was a kid and the catholic parents all sent their children to private, catholic school. Looking back, those catholic parents resented paying taxes for the public schools. I think that to this day they have a valid point. >>100,000 new cops on the street<< I'll bet you that per capita, cops "do" more illegal drugs and have sex with prostitutes more than your average citizen. I'm trying to point out that we have reached a state of corruption on our police forces, so adding 100,000 cops to the police state probably isn't a good idea. There are good cops but they're bound by honor to cover for the crooked. That's why the police state/prison industrial complex is BAD IDEA.
