In these days of budget cuts it seems that Education has become a Luxury that Many politicians think that those who can't afford to pay for Private education can do with less. We have fallen FAR behind the rest of the 1st world nations in education and are falling faster by the year. When the US was ranked near the TOP we had Far higher taxes on the Rich and spent Far more money per capita than we do now. Do our current politicians think that education is Not important for the average citizen? Their actions and policies seem to suggest that they do. It seems that they are more concerned with protecting the International Mega-Corps and the Rich than helping our kids get a good education for the future. Other countries, China included, are going to Dominate our country in the future with technology because they spend what it takes to give their children the education that the future will require. If we don't wake up soon We will become a 3rd world country!
