Trump wants a much bigger Navy

$25 billion or about half the public school budget, maybe we should privatize the military?

Better idea to privatize public school ....

same principle

Keep our public schools but reform them! Bring back severe punishments for assholes that work to destroy the learning environment.

Every American deserves 12 years of education.

Not every kid wants to be in school for 12 years. Maybe if we told kids that after age 14 they could start training for a trade if they mastered the basics of math and english first.... they might try harder in their earlier years. My great grandfather, who was born in 1870, apprenticed out to a master carpenter around that age and by the time he was 18, he was well on the path to making a good living all his life.

I live in a state that still offers the option of a trade oriented high school where students study and prepare for trades.

Our school offered that too....starting in tenth grade

$25 billion a year? Oh, my, that is such a huge number in comparison to our $1.8 trillion dollar budget!
