The Governor and his Privateers are starving the Public Sector in Michigan out of existence for a reason, so that private corporations can complete their hostile takeover of all public services. They stopped being content with tax abatements, bailouts, bribes, incentives, kickbacks, and worker concessions a long time ago — they want nothing less than the automatic funneling of tax dollars directly into their private corporate bankrolls without the annoying interference of all us pesky commoners.

Here is a post from the Facebook page of the Ferris Faculty Association:

“We all know the struggles public schools face with declining per pupil funding. We have seen Governor Snyder's plan for the future. The following link is a fund raiser trailer for Greenhills, the school Snyder has his daughter enrolled in. They're fund raising because $20,000 per year per student is not enough to properly educate a child. This trailer shows what Snyder wants in a school for *his* children.”

I'm guessing the Governor does not have a clue how to go about creating a high quality educational environment for all of Michigan's children, but the above information tells us that he does know where to get a few clues about the components of a quality education and how much it costs to achieve it. And one thing we know for sure is that he's not getting those clues from his bean-counter corporate buddies who are dictating their wish list of laws to the Legislature in Lansing.

Mr. Reno,
I've been seeing a lot of re-runs this Summer, too, and not all of them on TV.
There is the never-ending deja vu of the retro-channel program to drain public schools of public funds and funnel them into private schools, which the obscenely well-financed pushers of vouchers for untold seasons now have declared as their explicit goal.
But I did add an epilogue to explain the point of my message, for anyone who missed it the first time around.
There is nothing personal about the information I shared. I would not have bothered to go looking for it, but simply passed on what another source posted on Facebook. The video itself was published to the web by the people who ran the fund drive. It simply serves as an object lesson on the realities of the situation.
The rest of what you say I just can't make any sense of.
Part of the time you seem to be repeating, wittingly or otherwise, one of the points I was making, to wit, or not, the simple truism that you get what you pay for, if you are lucky.
The rest of what you say appears to be based on the same fundamental misunderstandings that I see repeated so often in this medium, misconceptions about the essential difference between the private sector and the public sector and why it won't work for the private to assimilate the public.

Ms. T,
I suppose the word “sector” is a little misleading. Let's see if we can clear up what we are really talking about.
We all have private selves and public selves, private roles and public roles that we perform. We all serve private ends and public ends to some extent all the time.
So the way we tell the difference between private sector and public sector activities is more by the forms of governance, management, or “rules of the game” that apply to our various activities.
