It certainly isn't in the classroom. Every teacher I ever talk to rails about the fact that they're spending their own money on everything from paper to pencils for the children. Is that how it worked when you went to school?

No Tom, whatever figures you are citing are dead wrong or there's some black hole somewhere in between when the money gets allocated and when it hits the local school districts and it's not the Democrats that are profiting from it.

My guess is you Republicans have found a way to siphon it off like with every other government dollar that gets allocated in our country. What's the cost of textbooks these days Tom? Free enterprise has done a real good job of making people filthy rich in that industry hasn't it?

How about all the testing firms supplying crap for the unfunded NCLB mandates? Guess who owns those firms Tom? Do your typical look up and tell me who's profiting in those industries and which party they contribute to.

You're out of your league again here guy spouting shit about something you have no clue about. I live with a fucking teacher who works in a district struggling to get by. They aren't paying teachers exorbitant salaries. Their schools are falling down around them. Their administration budget is reasonable for the size of their district. They can no longer go on field trips. Science and social studies are almost non-existent because they aren't tested. There's no waste of money because there is no fucking money. It's been getting pared down year after year by Republican assholes like you.

Stop looking at charts and graphs dickhead and go spend some time in a classroom in some poorer district around you and then we can talk.
