In 2012, according to a report by the Pew Charitable Trusts, state governments spent $9 billion less than they did the previous year — the first such decline in 50 years. Many of these cuts have fallen on education. In Pennsylvania, for example, Gov. Tom Corbett cut funding for the state’s public universities by 20 percent, a compromise from his original proposal of 50 percent. Last month in Wisconsin, Gov. Scott Walker, backed by Republican majorities in the state House and Senate, cut $250 million from the University of Wisconsin system.

The NYT puts the most negative spin on it they can. The one thing they didn’t do is vouchers. That would have relieved the price pressure on school costs. Had they moved to a free market in schooling they’d have set the standard nationwide. The one thing we cannot do is fiddle around with this stuff.
If you’re going to break the grip of government and make no doubt that government is the third and dominant party of America, they’ll just muck it up intentionally.
