How can the wealthiest country in the world not afford to pay its teachers? It's all coming together now. The bigger question is, given the technological improvements of the last 50 years, why isn't the U.S. far wealthier than it is? How could it be that average wages have not increased in 40 years?
Now it's becoming clear that the elite -- aided and protected by our own CIA -- have been skimming the cream and a significant fraction of the milk from our economy for decades (and centuries before).
The old-time conspiracy theorists were on the right track.
Heck, they are STILL open about that.
The politicians can't be open about it, they would not win a popular election. But they are in on it, and working to "get 'er done."
Because it's a big hoax.
In fact, the union-thug babysitters get paid plenty, way more than they're worth, (not to mention their pensions) especially considering their pathetic "learning results". Kids now are dumber than ever, and especially when measured against foreign students. That being true in spite of the fact that we have among the highest per-student costs in the world.

Maybe it has something to do with the astronomical, ever auto-increasing budget, which consumes all tax revenue, and then borrowing the balance from the likes of China. Most of the Trillion$ of approps goes to pay the salaries and benefits of the endless hoards of bureaucRAT hacks, and of course, the aforementioned educRATs.
Maybe if we had a fraction of the greedy government parasites, the American public could send their kids to private institutions and pay real educational instructors what they are really worth. (and fire any drones)
