Agreed. Without the requisite funding already secured, this policy basically amounts to a half-baked pipe dream. Declaring the policy a failure really isn't a joke. The policy was not implemented as it was proposed (perhaps "imagined" is a better word), and the end result is that it failed.
When we talk about "not giving the policy a real chance", what are we talking about exactly? Are we referring to an idealized version of the policy, in which everything goes exactly as it was imagined? Or are we referring to the actual implementation of the policy, in which "everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face" (Mike Tyson quote)?
