Education
Liberal
Lie:
“The public education system needs more
funding.”
Conservative Comebacks:
Cocky
Comeback: “…Like a
drowning man needs a glass of water!”
Candid
Comeback: “At the
present rate of increased funding, our government sponsored education will be
costing our city and state governments a total of more than a trillion dollars
a year by the year 2015.”
Considerate
Comeback: “It’s long
past time to stop the escalating cost of education and the soaring cost of
throwing money at it in order to fix it. An entire overhaul of our education
system is in order: an overhaul that puts in place smarter and more economical
means to educate our children.”
