So now they're worried about how to pay for big government.

That's a total farce.

You cleaned up a lot of the mess Malabar. Unlike the typical big government mandate, the best solution is to have these questions resolved locally and with volunteers.

Notice the attempt at re-framing the argument to make it something it never was. It was clearly stated the better ideas would include armed resources that aren't teachers, and have those teachers who wished to participate do so voluntarily and anonymously as a supplement to dedicated non-teacher resources. Typical hyperbole fantasy, because their argument doesn't hold water.
