Stuart Varney doesn’t have the precise figures, but he’s certain the number Steve Doocy just pulled out of his ass is accurate.
Doocy: I read somewhere that with this high quality preschool for every 4 year old in America it would cost $10,000 per kid per year. Where’s that money coming from?
Varney: That is probably correct. I don’t have the precise.. that is probably an accurate figure.

Varney: Just step back for a second. Look what the president is doing here, it’s a repeat performance of his campaign, which is you raise taxes on the rich and you offer all kinds of free stuff to people who will vote for you in the future. Free preschool education for 4-year-olds, it’s free, here it is. Hand out the goodies.
Just step back for a second as Stuart Varney’s unparalleled buffoonery spawns a singularity at the center of the planet Vulcan.
The president is giving out “the goodies” to 4-year-olds so they will vote for him 14 years from now. And I suppose he will use his time machine, the same time machine he used to plant his birth certificate, to take these preschoolers back to 2012 so they can vote for him.
Of course, in the real world, a depressing number of these 4-year-old conspirators will drop out of school, many will become Republicans or — even worse — libertarians, and some will be killed by our gun culture before they even have the opportunity to use the president’s time machine to vote for him.
Or, with a quality education, we may avoid each of those problems all together, which is what the insufferable Steve Doocy and Stuart Varney are really concerned about.
