We won't need to have education for what the oligarchs have planned. They want to drive down the costs of American labor by any means necessary, including deporting skilled immigrant labor. And the battle is already lost as over half the population openly supports the rich like a football team.
This? (can't even get any MAGAs on to defend this absolute dipshittery from their hero) Fact check: Trump revives his lie that schools are secretly sending children for gender-affirming surgeries “No transgender, no operations — you know, they take your kid — there are some places, your boy leaves for school, comes back a girl. Okay? Without parental consent.” He added, “At first, when I was told that was actually happening, I said, you know, it’s an exaggeration. No: it happens. It happens. There are areas where it happens.” https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/26/poli...hildren-gender-affirming-surgeries/index.html
The total for every salary dollar in the entire government is about $110B outside of the military. The savings from decimating functional government is a very small sum of money compared to the $900B spent on defense spending. The priorities of the the GOP are utterly whackadoodle.
Defense spending should be compared to how much China spends on defense. FYI they just increased their defense spending by 7%.
Spending more on Military is a source of pride for Contra. Spending more on Education is a source of pain for Contra. I guess it’s all about priorities.
Is spending more on education really the issue? I thought we’re in the top three annually but our results are closer to the 40s? I’m not saying cut education spending but it seems we need some kind of reform.
No argument with that. Our stuff costs more so we spend more. Do I love the results? No. But that is because we educate everyone but do a crappy job with those in poor areas. The spending is highly uneven. The results even more so. Wide gap in SAT/ACT test scores between wealthy, lower-income kids — Harvard Gazette
