According to the "selected-not-elected" Democrat Lt. Governor candidate Sheila Simon (photo right), it's about education stupid. Of course, when it comes to Democrats, what isn't about education? "Education" is the silver bullet to all our woes and therefore worthy of whatever amount of taxpayer money the Democrat aristocracy of Illinois decides is necessary to fund their re-education.
New voice. New face. Same broken record.
Take for instance Ms. Sheila's speech today to the Democrat Party of DuPage. According to the Daily Herald, Simon told those assembled to hear her speech that "The priority is education everywhere." She advocated Quinn's tax increase and said it would help "restore some much-needed money for education."
"We really don't have enough money to go around right now, particularly for education," Simon said. "That surcharge will help to pay those bills...and hopefully provide some extra money for education."
In case you didn't get the message stupid...it is "education"...as usual.
