A nationwide poll of students, parents, and teachers showed that over 90 percent believe that an appropriate percentage of their school' s budget is being spent on student counseling programs. It seems, then, that any significant increase in a school' s budget should be spent on something other than student counseling programs.
The argument fails to justify its presumption that what is true of a part of the budget is also true of the total budget describes a flaw in the reasoning of the argument above.
