    Can someone budget how much it would cost to pay teachers more to carry guns & have 100-150 armed guards in each school.https://twitter.com/crampell/status/966732550738759680 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    Catherine RampellVerified account @crampell
    Trump suggests "a little bit of a bonus" for trained teachers who are armed, throwing out 10%, 20% and 40% as possible percentages of teachers who might be qualified. Also: "You can't hire enough security guards... Your need 100, 150 security guards.”

        A gun massacre in schools become an #NRA business opportunity. What a world.

        As it happens, I calculated the costs associated with Trump's proposal for adding guns to schools (as well as Newt Gingrich's). http://wapo.st/2BIbvGR

        100 armed guards would outnumber teachers at all but the largest urban public schools.

        They just want to close schools so they can open their own, with their own demented ciriculum, or hire Betsy DeVos's brother to be security at all schools. That's all

        Even 8 per school is $100 Billion/year 125,000 schools x 8/school x $100,000= $100 BILLION equivalent to a $1500 tax increase per family.

        ~150k schools x 100 security guards per school x $80,000 per year = $1,200,000,000,000 per year, give or take a 1,000,000.000,000. Doesn’t include the teacher’s bonuses.

        Ok, the wapo piece covered arms at least, but not ammunition or, as author notes, insurance which I hadn't considered either. Now ... what about counseling fees for all the kids we'll traumatize with this insanity?

        They want an expensive useless border wall. They do not care about the budget.
