7. so the middle class is just not that important huh? And I'm suppose to be happy with his universal

kindergarten? We need hundreds of millions of dollars for all aspects of education, pre-school, college, and especially k-12. Our k-12 system is crumbling beneath our feet and we are doing absolutely nothing to stop it. He has said before he wants to hire math and science teachers. What about reducing class sizes in all subjects? How about hiring art, music, and PE teachers? How about not tying funds directly to standardized testing? How about hiring teachers with Masters in Ed for all subjects? How about funding special education? His policy on education sucks and that alone is enough to make me not vote democrat in 2014. But chained CPI also sucks really bad too. What about middle class Americans who have saved on average about $80,000 for retirement who will desperately need Social Security when they reach retirement age? No. These compromises suck and I will not support them.
