Quote of the Week…For Now

Andy Biggs, at a hearing of the Ways and Means Committee Yesterday, confirming all of the fears of those of us who wonder if any of the solons running our state have their heads screwed on straight:

Education does not create jobs.

By the way, the property tax cut they voted for will save the average Arizona family a grand total of $3. I think most folks would pay that for decent schools.

    It’s worth pointing out that Biggs has three degrees and is working on a fourth. Yes, education is terribly irrelevant…

    Hasn’t Biggs heard? Getting a high school diploma and only a high school diploma is enough to land you in the governor’s chair in this state.

    Laugh all you want, but that $3 in the pockets of Hard Working Americans is more economic “stimulus” than all of Obamavitch’s bridges to nowhere combined. I think we have ample evidence that the sound policy of cutting taxes every year has kept this state strong.

    This is the same guy who doesn’t like bicycles or people who ride them. Maybe he has some sort of inner ear problem.

    So Biggs is working on his 4th degree? I get it now. Because he’s a professional student he doesn’t understand that other people actually parlay their education into employment.
