Not quite understanding the process

Yesterday the Knesset approved a new law that will provide free education for children starting at age three, as well as discounted aftercare. The internal debate and fast-track process that led to the passing of the ground breaking legislation came as a direct result of the social justice protests held last summer, and is just one of several initiatives that have been given priority by the Netanyahu government in answer to the protester's demands.

The budget allotment to support the new law was achieved through unprecedented cooperation among ministries where all but the defense budget saw cuts.

Not surprisingly, one of the spokespeople of the social justice movement (presumably an economics major) was quick to condemn the passage of the new law:

"Itzik Shmuli, Chairman of the National Student Union, rejected the new law and said, “The Free Education Law is a desirable and necessary move and is one of the main demands of the protest movement, but the decision to implement it through broad budget cutting is no more than a budgetary trick that takes from one pocket and moves into another pocket.” [source]

In response to Mr. Shmuli's comments, the Israeli government has kicked off an urgent initiative to generate new income from rainbow dust and unicorn farts. Because, like, there should be an infinite amount of money available to fulfill the whims of today's youth.
