Holy shit I'm going to fucking strangle you. Are you just trolling? Listen carefully you moron, you have NO IDEA what you're talking about. It doesn't matter who is in office, education spending has gone up progressively pretty much every year. Bush jacked up education spending way over Clinton levels, and Obama is spending something like 80% more than Bush was already. What is the real problem? It sure as fucking hell isn't Republicans. Our public education system is absolutely dominated by Democrats, the liberal elite, and is beholden to public sector unions who donate 98% of their campaign contributions to Democrats. The NEA is the country's largest union... of teachers and administrators. Democrat. They go out of their way to stifle private and charter school competition that would actually help the education system improve. Your own Lord Obama Most Merciful killed the D.C. school voucher program that was benefiting inner city kids as a "thank you" to the unions who helped get him elected. You need to check yourself before you spout off stupid shit like this.

Look at the goddamn graphs and tell me the Republicans have ANYTHING to do with not funding education.






Here's your problem:

Who cares what the fed does, its a pittance anyways.

You know how little federal funding actually goes to effect education at the state level? Most of the federal funds barely cover administrative costs at the state and district level.

When I say republicans aren't funding it, I mean joe and sally stupid who don't vote for bonds or taxes that will benefit students, often with the retort "I don't have any kids" or "my kids go to private school, so I won't vote for public school measures."


Save your union rants for some other discussion as well. Both parties have chronyism issues, and the Republicans have some of the most glaring. At least the Democrats tend to be chronys with decent groups of people like teachers, not fat cat wall street execs who serve no real public good.

Either you're lying, or your dad is as big of a fucking idiot as you are. I call bullshit on his "intimate knowledge" of the school system. When I was in high school, guess what was going on every single day after school? Students cleaning up the school grounds, raking pine needles and leaves, washing chalk boards, etc. Even on Saturdays (albeit those were usually the kids taking saturday school who needed extra credit, or were on detention, but still).

Where the fuck did you go to school?

I am not lying, my dad spends most of his time dealing with teachers unions, in fact his day pretty much revolves around it.

Also, if you want to call a US Supreme Court decision winning attorney on limiting first-amendment rights in an educational environment case, which was precedent setting by the way, unfamiliar with the US school system then go ahead.

yeah... teachers are real decent these days. they'll shut down the capital of Wisconsin for weeks and get arrested for making death threats to lawmakers for being asked to pay a mere 12% of their own retirement and health benefits, which is still less than the private sector, while making twice as much as the average. A real caring lot. They've turned into nothing more than a group with average intelligence at best who are looking for the easiest way to get a good paying job; they could give a fuck about the students' needs.

Hey, at least Wall Street execs own companies that employ people... people who pay the bulk of the tax burden. So don't sit there all high and mighty and act like they serve no public good. The leeches who suck off the government teet have that teet thanks to their tax dollars.

No you're right. We should just redistribute money to the unskilled, uneducated, and poor who don't know how to run the businesses that actually fucking hire people.

Born in Boston... moved to Florida in the 3rd grade.

You live in a basement and didn't graduate high school? That explains so much!

Yeah.... living in a certain state affects one's IQ. I'm not from the North East even though I was born there? You're a smart one.
