Kevin Drum provides the rant of the day discussing a study on pre-K education:
The investment return on these two things is probably astronomical. Unfortunately, like all good things, they cost money and require rigorous execution, something that's nearly impossible because one of our major parties will never consider shifting money out of K-12 and the other is run by nihilists who are unwilling to spend money on anything other than national defense. So instead we twiddle our thumbs, doing nothing until the evidence in favor of these child-centered programs is literally bulletproof, something that might take a while since social science evidence is, by its nature, almost never bulletproof.
In the meantime, though, there's plenty of bipartisan support for ethanol subsidies. Welcome to America.And here is a great Rolling Stones song with a hilariously silly 80's video.
