Raises parent incomes by on average 20%. Are public schools also "welfare" to you? Should they be less available? Is it a failure that people who can't afford private schools still have schools to attend?

thanks for this. paper says it does help, but mostly the middle class, not ones likely to be on welfare.

"How are the benefits of UPK distributed? To answer this question, we split our analysis by terciles of pre-enrollment neighborhood income. We first show that, because the UPK program serves a relatively low-income population, the top tercile of the applicant population consists mostly of people with earnings near the population mean.Turning to treatment effects, we find that parents’ earnings gains are large in the top two terciles while we cannot rule out a null effect in the bottom tercile."...."We conclude that benefits mostly accrue to middle-income families."

"Middle-income families appear to be the biggest beneficiaries of the UPK program. To see this, we split our sample into three groups based on terciles of median household income in the Census block group where the child lived at the time of application"

it does say it reduces the costs associated with other child based welfare programs by 8k, but considering it still costs the state 15k, its still an increase in government assistance.
"To capture how this affects public costs, we estimate the change in years of enrollment in other publicly funded programs, and scale these changes by their per pupil expenditures.13We estimate that program substitution reduces net costs by $8,800."

based on my other questions it does state the effect on education is minimal.

Conservatives here keep saying they "want" Zohran to win so they can enjoy the show. Yet rich conservatives are absolutely desperate to make him lose. Why do you think that is?
