There was a post on Dakota Wuss College about the opt-out, and Representative Hunhoff’s comment pretty much nailed it;
He brings up the trust funds and the gigantic pool of money that is swirling around in it. When are people going to figure this out? We can pull the interest from the fund every month and fund education, more then adequately, without harming the principal. The majority in power are lying to you about education funding, Mr. Hunhoff is not.
