Government needs a lesson in economics. What business do you know that will grow services at $22.4 million with an expected short fall in revenue of $12.3 million for the next year? Public Education. South Carolina's median funding is $12,400 per pupil. The Charleston school board is proposing an additional $5.6 million in new money to teach reading when they are already paid and required to teach reading. Educational malpractice or misappropriation of funds? Money is not the problem or the solution to the ailments of our educational systems. Poor education is polarized in poor policies and financial mismanagement. A struggling student is a sign of the lack of professional development to assist the needs of the student. SC is suffering from state policies that are mandated down to the local levels. The Department of Education sets the Standards of Learning with a department for every subject. The experts at the department make up standards for 360 days and expect teachers to cover the material in 180 days. This logic is illogical. Common sense requires business sense.

With the economic recession, unemployment and foreclosures still rampant, I thought taking a look at government jobs would be informative. It's time we look at limiting government services that burden the private working class.

Facebook | Weldon Davis wants Drug testing For Welfare In South Carolina

It seems we are turning into a police state against the advice of our founders. Warrant less searches has already passed the Republican General Assembly. I love how the very people who promote less government and individual liberty are bound and determined to limit constitutional rights to privacy. If you really cherish freedom then we need to fight for our rights. Tyranny is repugnant.
