Whenever you start an ordsprog

Whenever you start an entirely new state bureaucracy like this initiative proposes, the costs always exceed initial estimates. When that happens, parents of preschool children could be charged a fee or the legislature could raise taxes on all Californians to keep the new bureaucracy going.

Government proposes, bureaucracy disposes. And the bureaucracy must dispose of government proposals by dumping them on us.

With all the real and pressing problems facing this state, the last thing we need to do is raise taxes $2.4 billion to create a new government-run bureaucracy to replace our current system of preschools.

Basically, taxpayers would pay $2.4 billion in higher taxes to get four percent more of our kids into preschool. That just doesn't seem like a very good bang for the buck. Rather than focus resources on the state's most pressing needs or helping parents of low-income families who need the most help sending their kids to preschool, this flawed measure creates a subsidy for rich and middle-income families that already send their kids to preschool.

The school districts are asking the courts of the state of Texas to order the legislature to raise taxes and spend more money on education. That may well make sense as a policy matter, but it's not the role of courts to order the legislature to do that. Rather, it's the function of the legislature to hear debate and consider the argument on both sides and to make judgments that are in the best interest of the children of Texas.

The initiative doesn't provide enough money and creates more state bureaucracy. If the auditor quadrupled staff to do all these audits, it could cost $90 million a biennium.

The art of government is the organization of idolatry. The bureaucracy consists of functionaries; the aristocracy, of idols; the democracy, of idolaters. The populace cannot understand the bureaucracy: it can only worship the national idols.

We understand and agree that performance audits are a good thing, but this goes beyond what is needed or prudent right at this moment. The initiative doesn't provide enough money and creates more state bureaucracy. If the auditor quadrupled staff to do all these audits, it could cost $90 million a biennium.

Most bureaucracies take a while to get it together, and this is America -- we have so much and we can't get it together [in the face of Hurricane Katrina], ... So imagine a country that's very poor, with a clunky bureaucracy. The ability to coordinate and manage this sort of crisis, especially in a country with corruption, high levels of alcoholism and a top-heavy bureaucracy, is challenging.

Middle-income children are being left behind. Children in poverty have access to Head Start. Upper-income parents buy whatever is best for their child -- usually a preschool of very high quality. It's the middle class that's getting squeezed.

If you are going to sin, sin against God, not the bureaucracy. God will forgive you but the bureaucracy won't.

Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850)

We have to be careful about the administrative costs of bureaucracy ... if we expect to compete in the global marketplace.

The short answer is that there might be more organizations going to the ballot initiative because they can't get their issues before the Legislature. Either that or they don't agree with what the Legislature has done. Either way, the reason we're doing our initiative is it won't get done by the Republican Legislature.

In reality, we've had more spending, more bureaucracy, more waste and higher costs but without necessary reform nor rising productivity.
