I am for it as long as it does what it's supposed to do . But they can't garrentee that it goes to the schools then I'm totally against it . I think everything should go and help the schools as long as the funds are spent appropriately. And not wasted away .

Would you like to see some ocean front property here in Missouri? The schools won't see diddly. But, I agree with your intent. Please vote No on 2.

I remember when the lottery was the end all of end alls for school financing. And look, our schools are worse than ever. It is not going to take any more people or money to improve the educational system. It's going to take massive reform, starting at the federal level

This has nothing to do with schools, if you don't believe it whatever happened to the lottery money? Wasn't it supposed to fix everything.

When the lottery finally got to us, we were promised fantastic roads and schools! Well?? We've had the lottery for a very long time, yet we still have failing roads and schools! Shouldn't have taken this long...where's the $$?? I don't believe the schools will see a dime!

Trump and his goons in every state in every department are running it into the ground acting like it's the best thing ever and it's not. People are suffering now more then his first term or even during Biden term

> "Trump and his goons" Goons? It's 2025. Trump is a lot of things, but comparing he and his team continued success to a childish name, you need better sources of your insults. For example, stop using The Rolling Stone as a primary news source.

Then, you prefer the 9% inflation for 4 straight years, instead of 2.9%. Where did you get your economics degree?

We're too close to 2026 and it'll take a long time to reverse.

That was during a period of worldwide inflation ... and we were actually doing better than most other advanced countries. Inflation is higher now than when Biden left office.

Compare November 2025 to November 2026 ... roughly same and 2026 figure was held down by the government shutdown. Let's check back at this time next year and you try to explain away the recession.

Inflation is less than 1/3rd of when Biden was in office. Fix your calculator.

Biden tactics were destroying the world's economies.

The U.S. dollar dominates the world economy due to its role as the primary reserve currency, backed by the massive U.S. economy, unmatched financial market liquidity, and historical inertia since the 1944 Bretton Woods system. It facilitates 88% of global exchange transactions, 54% of trade
