The Republicans -- everywhere -- are out of their gourds. More so than usual. In New Hampshire:
New Hampshire’s House is scheduled to vote this week whether to repeal a law requiring public schools to offer kindergarten.
The House Education Committee is recommending keeping the requirement, but a minority on the committee is fighting to repeal the law. State Rep. J.R. Hoell, a Dunbarton Republican, argued the bill isn’t about eliminating kindergarten but about giving local voters the control over whether to offer programs.
Remarkable how they accomplished this slash-and-burn fever at a time when the government ought to be spending more. The federal government ought to be providing more aid to the states and raising revenue by increasing taxes on the super rich. Instead, the exact opposite is happening. They're winning the debate despite all of the facts being on the Keynesian side.
