Roughly equivalent spend as % of CA general fund after 40yrs of policy regression
CA is terrible at cost control, especially re: incarceration, but it's actually reducing its prison population while increasing expenditures on its prison pop. Meanwhile, education continues to eat most of the state budget.pic.twitter.com/3vJbJxj7Qo

This elides the point. One has meaningful (if not fully optimized) economic returns, the other is sunk cost. Luckily CA has partially come to its senses on prison reform. Unfortunately, we haven't realized the catastrophic blunder of gutting education budgets yet.

Well, to return to Mike's point, these aren't options with total overlap on a population. (If you like, I'll let you know whether or not my stalker — who's threatened to rape and murder a number of other women — improves under CA's prison reform. Or you may read about it.)
