What do you think?

Ok, so the conversation on WHO radio was regarding whether to cut funding for a preschool or not?  If they did cut the funding then parents would have to pay for their child to go and the cost would be per their income.  Do you think they should cut funding here?  We discussed a little at work and a comment was made, "they pay for my child to go to school, if they didn't it would cost me $?????? each month for him to go."  Do we not feel that we are responsible for our lives?  I pay for my child to go to private school and do not get help from the Government.  I pay for clothing and school supplies.  The host said that if there are people who cannot afford to pay for their child to go to school, why are they having children?  I can understand help for special needs children as there are many costs involved that are above and beyond.   My question is, the person that feels the government owes them or should pay for their child, then w?  Why do they feel that way?  How did they come to this conclusion.
