Duh.
Step 1: Government cuts funding. Teachers fired. Class sizes grow.
Step 2: Study conducted. Points out students aren't learning as much as they used to.
Step 3: Students who aren't learning kicked out.
Step 4: More teachers fired. More schools closed. More and more uneducated citizens.
Step 5: “Happy” Workers for Menial Jobs.
Step 6: No menial jobs left. Foreigners doing them for less money.
Step 7: Student goes home and eats couch.
Step 8: Bashes foreigners.
Step 9: Scrawls KKK on side of dumpster.
Step 10: Joins Tea Party.
Step 11: Escapes to woods with shotgun and brisket.
Step 12: Becomes blogger with misspellings, fantasies about grammar control, and radicalized rhetoric.
