re: The district needs to find at least $17 million in savings, about 7 percent of the money in its general fund, he said, to balance its budget for 2013-14 school year.

Discussions of political philosophy aside, the big issue is diminishing budgets. Why are the budgets diminishing? They are diminishing because of the sucky Obama economy which kills jobs and penalizes success. What is the solution? Obama’s solution and the solution of most Democrats is to raise taxes on the “wealthy” and practically speaking, the middle class as well as pump more money into government and unions. None of this works, of course. The real solution is to build the economy by reducing taxes and encouraging business growth in the private sector. So, while this school district and districts across the country as well as government entities everywhere are bewailing their reduced budgets, they really ought to be demanding steps to be taken that will in actuality build their community and state tax bases through increased growth in the private sector.

Our govenor, in an unguarded liberal moment, asked us to impose a temporary tax raise, and I believe it was to take care of the shortfall in the school budget. Our treasury is in the black now, but these area seems always to be a black hole.
Although, I agree, liberals can't look at the backstory.
