The “more money” goes to further bloat the school administration and payoff the Union leadership, so they can funnel the money back to Democrat campaigns.

Students and meaningful education see NO BENEFIT!!!

To a Rat a “cut” is giving them less of an increase than they asked for.

A few years ago they managed to recall a state senator for cutting the number of teachers in a particular district despite the fact that the district actually added 7 teachers.

Nothing but lying scum.

My entire life I have heard the lamentations of teachers and school districts being underfunded. They will NEVER be satisfied. You give them a million dollars they will cry because you didn’t give them 2.

While I do not consider it a badge of honor that Snyder is hosing more money into the Public School trough, I do think it is important to point out when your opponents are flat out attempting to deceive voters.

The more we fund schools, the poorer the outcome is.

Consider cutting funds, maybe that will help.

Yup. If they asked for a 6% increase and got a 4% increase, their budget has been cut by 2%.

To paraphrase the old CCR song, when you ask how much money the taxpayer should pay each school district, the teachers’ union only answers “More More More!”

As a teacher (albeit one who's teaching at a Catholic school, after 10 years in the public schools), one of the most frustrating things about dreck like this (i.e. the sob story, decorated with lies, that "we're being deprived of money!") is that it grants the false premise that "more money = better education"... which is a load of horse hockey.

As my dad says: "When you hear a group of teachers say that they need a pay raise to do a better job, fire the lot of them... since they've just admitted to doing less than their best, in the meantime!"

I really do wonder if use of the slogan "for the kids" is an infallible indicator of someone who *doesn't care* about the kids...

I wish we could always be factually accurate about things.

This is a prime example. If a budget increases 4%, but they had wanted 6%, they say it’s a “cut” in spending of 2%.

In the real world, that is not a cut in spending. In the real world, spending went up by 4%. Only in government spending, or among political operatives, are they allowed to lie and say that spending was cut by 2%, by some evil Republican administration.

I’ve researched and found that some of our big city school systems, which spend among the most per capita on education in this country, also have some of the poorest student achievement. Yet liberals always say we need more “resources”. Resources is a favorite word of the liberals, who don’t want to say “money” sometimes.

...and don't forget where all those hard-earned dollars will go, once the NEA gets its hands on it:

• “The National Education Association supports family planning, including the right to reproductive freedom.
• The Association urges the government to give high priority to making available all methods of family planning to women and men unable to take advantage of private facilities.
• The Association also urges the implementation of community-operated, school-based family planning clinics that will provide intensive counseling by trained personnel.”

(Reference: NEA 2014-15 Resolution I-17)

At the 1998 NEA Assembly in New Orleans, LA, a first time delegate asked the following 3-part question (from the resolution above) at the microphone:

• Through the words “reproductive freedom” in our Resolutions document, does the NEA support the choice to abort after the first trimester?

Response from the chair: Yes.

• Through the words “reproductive freedom” in our Resolutions document, does the NEA support a woman’s choice to abort after viability?

Response from the chair: Yes.

• Through the words “reproductive freedom” in our Resolutions document, does the NEA support the decision to abort up to, and including delivery, commonly termed by the media a “partial birth abortion?”

Response from the chair: We have NO limitations.
