The US spends double what every other country spends on public education per kid.
Where is the money going?
It gets siphoned off. Funding it more and more and more is what America has done for five straight decades, and it just gets worse, and the worse it gets, the more money the Dems want.
Get real. Public education is a monopoly. Monopolies always OVERPRICE and UNDER Deliver goods and services. If there was a government monopoly on hamburgers, the Big Mac would cost $100, $120 with extra cheese and bacon.
The point is to break that monopoly with competition. Private schools can outperform the public education with half the money.
When Rudy Giuliani took over as Mayor of NYC, there were more "public education employees" (aka Dem activists) who "worked" in buildings that were not schools than those who were.
Vouchers will expose public education as a black hole of taxpayer waste, fraud, and abuse, and THAT is the real "state of emergency."
