The monster is so bloated it cannot stand upright by itself anymore....lets start with schools..
when did the local school become a restaurant???Feeding breakfast and lunch to school kiddies on the government dime? All meticulously and lovingly hand prepared by government (union) officals....close the kitchens, layoff all kitchen workers, and tell mommy or daddy to drag their butts out of bed, cook breakfast and pack lunch for their kids.....enormous savings right there....
when did the school have to hire limosine services for the kiddies? Privitize this crap right now, and save tons of cash......
most large corporations oursource janitorial services...why not schools???
how many adminsitrators does it take to run an elementary school....back in my day a principal, vice principal and 2 secretaries did the job....now you have 3 times this many people.....
tons of savings right here without even going into teachers salary...that could be step 2

You misunderstand the system. The system exists to pay educators, not to educate children.
Children are merely cannon fodder
America has no education system, it has an educator system

Only three times as many? Hell, in many districts in Pennsylvania, the number of administrative personnel almost equals the number of classroom teachers.
My high school (1973 graduate) had about 800 kids and was exactly as you describe. In a pinch, the principal could teach math, and was quite good at it. The vice principal could teach science and lets just say it was easy to see why he became an administrator.
