Logic time. "Well-funded" is a relative term. A well-funded Cub Scout troop doesn't require the same amount of money as an army battalion, for instance. It takes a smaller amount of money for a small town school to be "well-funded" than it takes for a big city school. If somebody ran for a local government post promising that my kids' school would be "as well-funded as any school in the state!", I would vote for him with the expectation that he meant something _reasonable_, such as looking at how much is spent per student, or getting the money necessary to offer the same programs and quality of education as the best schools in the state. Either of those would be a reasonable interpretation of his broad campaign claim. What wouldn't be reasonable, either as a promise on his part or an expectation on mine, would be for him to work out exactly how much money each school has in its budget, and work to make sure our little school exactly matches it. That would be crazy. There would be no point to it. Of course, that's the key word here: reasonable. You guys don't do "reason" here. You're on more of a faith-based program. When Peggy in Florida, the poor voter vilified by conservatives, said she was voting for Obama because she didn't want to have to worry about making her payments and putting gas in her car, the right wing nutbars went nuts about this "moocher" looking for "handouts" and ohhhh weren't all we Obamabots going to be disappointed when it turns out that "The One" didn't solve all our problems. Sorry to tell you, but Barack Obama never promised trillions for his civilian force and all us "moochers" aren't looking for handouts. The key word there was "worry". When the economy is decent, you can pay household expenses as a matter of course without fretting over every last one. But look at me, trying to explain reason here... it's like trying to teach the congenitally blind about color.
