On This Site: People who conveniently forget all the economic activity involved in renovation and upgrade as soon as it's for a cause they don't like, such as schooling.<br> <br> Putting money towards renovating the technological capacities of schools and hospitals doesn't just disappear into government coffers. Private-sector employees and businesses have to manufacture the equipment, private-sector truckers have to move the equipment around, private-sector contractors have to install the new equipment and train people how to use it, etc. The money does end up in private sector hands, but this fact conveniently slips the minds of all the ultra-right-wingers who rage every time public schools are brought up.<br> <br> Moving medical records to computers requires the manufacture, transport, installation, and training of personnel for new computer systems, along with data entry personnel to actively move the records. All of those are direct and immediate stimulus to the economy. Jobs are created as hospitals now need a records administrator (probably a database admin) to make sure their record storage goes smoothly and is kept up-to-date in the new computer systems.<br> <br> You people need to stop huffing the hate gas and actually look more than skin-deep at what goes on in these kinds of operations.<br> <br> Also, about school vouchers mentioned earlier? What happened to free market? If people can pay for private schools, they do so. If not, they don't deserve government handouts any more than any of the other people you say don't. It's pretty humorous how so many people are all for welfare the instant it starts promoting their views.
