I love short, quick thoughts - "Pragerisms" - only this one I heard on Jason Lewis, from a caller I think, regarding K-12 education in Minnesota. The thought was that you can have good schools and waste money. Said another way,

The concepts of quality education and overfunding education are not mutually exclusive.

The opposite is preached during referendums, a false choice with a tag line like "it's for the kids" or "why do you hate kids?"

So now I know how to succinct parry such arguments, and not with an extended point about how money doesn't buy inner-city happiness. Just say they're separate issues and rush the net.
