Oh, no! The state doesn’t have enough money for cronies! What will we do?

I have an idea. We can cut teacher pay, and when the cronies get around to multiplying their economics, the shriveled, malnourished, wretched educators will all be wealthy again.

Homework:

  1. Compare and contrast this news to the story today about a mother who poisoned her child with salt.
  2. Given that all the economic development incentives have gotten us nowhere, how much more must we pay cronies before the promised wealth untold materializes?
