It also means that the cycle of laziness or whatever you think it is (some think it is cultural/educational, but you guys know best), and that children are taken care of and taught how to achieve.
I think this can be done. I think it could be, in the long run, less expensive than current "handout" systems. But here's the catch: I think it will be more expensive up front.

Superman, once again you are insightful, and looking for real answers. I like this attitude much better than the one you started this thread with.
But before we spend more money, I would like some details of the new plan. I'm not sure you have them (I don't), but if so, I'd sure be willing to listen. At least some basic concepts.
We live in a great country. A land of opportunity. I don't see myself as being in competition with my fellow Americans, as much as I see an ability to provide for my family in the way I see best.
