CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: I find this amazing. First of all, just hearing him say every first grader in America has to be prepared for a high-tech economy, that is a bit early, I think. The other part of this is here we are with $16 trillion in debt, a trillion dollars a year of deficits. We have created already, with under Obama, the biggest entitlement in 50 years. And now he wants to create a new entitlement for preschool for every 4-year-old in the country.
The worst part of this, this isn't just any new entitlement. This is an entitlement in an area where we know the $7 billion a year that we spend on Head Start doesn't make any difference after the third grade. There is a study that HHS has done that showed that. So it's failure and yet he wants to double down and to make it universal. That's probably a definition of a liberal.
