Sorry, Charlie. Not enough money. You'll need to go to one of the fundamentalist Christian schools. We'll give you a voucher for that.

How much money do you need for a teacher, a chalkboard, some books and pencil and paper? That's what we had in our schools and guess what - we could actually read when we graduated HS.

We believe in a basic infrastructure, not an all-controlling bureaucracy like you do.

Dummie.  All of that equals this.  Universal Health Care doesn't give you that.  Those items you listed do.

So 2.6 Trillion dollars for social programs is not enough?

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle
