Any objective measure demonstrates that per student funding for education has increased dramatically. And…many private schools do a much better job than public schools with less per pupil. The argument you make: more money, has been made for years. But despite large increases there has been no improvement.

Clearly, money is not the answer.

“Conservatives want to improve the army by spending more.”

No, they observe that if we are to request that our fighting men and women go to battle for us they have the best equipment and training available. Juxtaposing a life or death situation with a bloated education beaurocracy is ghoulish.

“They think they can make a dumb CEO start to do a better job by paying him even more than the millions and millions he already gets.”
No, a conservative would say that is the decision and choice of the owners of the business, and not a govt ort taxpayer issue.

“But they can improve education by spending less. Why is that?”

Because the empirical evidence indicates so.

Education spending always grows. It goes up every year. Teachers in Chicago get paid over $70,000 and the kids still can’t even read! Instead Obama’s buddy Bill Ayres fills their heads full of communist mush.

Parents have to home school our kids even though we pay thousands in school taxes.

This idea that you can improve education by taking money away from schools and passing it out in the form of vouchers has been proven illogical many times.

This is really simple. Education will get better when the politicians stop trying to do it on the cheap and finally budget enough money to pay for it.

You should applaud Obama’s commitment to our schools and hope this extra money is just a down payment.
