A balancing act of equally unlikely options was the only answer that the city and the nation gave to the requests of these poor people. This juggling of options-in this instance, countering school-funding efforts with the need for preschool-does no good if neither of these options is to be enacted anyway and if the act of balancing only serves to guarantee our permanent inaction in both areas.
