[Vision2020] State Budget Deficits

[lfalen]

Joe
You make a false analogy by claiming that someone values  war and incarceration more than education. No one values war for the sake of war, but it is sometimes necessary. The same goes for incarceration. Incarceration is necessary to keep dangerous people from harming the public. I think that we could agree that there are people in prison who would be better dealt with in an other manner.
