Of course it is the most money in last 18 years. I bet it’s a record year every year.
It's to cover pensions and other goodies for retired teachers, administrators and other employees.
A slush fund for democRat operatives.
Pretty soon there will be one administrator for every child in school
Just like there is one government Welfare bureaucrat for every family on Welfare.
Gee, if I had 7,000 bucks per child I could have put them into some really good private schools.
Of course. Actual government spending, on anything at any level, rarely decreases in real terms. When they wail about “budget cuts,” they mean that they submitted their budget request for 76 trombones, 110 cornets, and three kittens, and the funding authority cut one of the kittens.
Liberals will NEVER be happy with spending. When is enough enough? There is no limit. They could announce, tomorrow, that 1 trillion dollars per student will be spent and in five minutes the teachers would be out complaining it wasn’t 1.1 trillion. Never give a liberal what they want. Never. They only want more.
