The education budget is pretty large. I don't see how anyone can claim we don't spend enough on it, because that just begs the question: how much is enough? Will we ever be spending enough?
The Bible is clear. God's word is eternal and immutable.
1 Cor. 6-9
Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders.
Dear Bravo,
You are not a Conservative. Stop reaching across the aisle from the left of center.

People who are looking for the perfect match, both men and women, go online seeking a certain kind of arrangement.
A “sugar baby” is typically younger and eager for adventure. A “sugar daddy” is usually an older, financially established provider. A website called www.seekingarrangement.com helps the two meet.
CBS4′s Jorge Estevez found a 22-year old who is looking for her first sugar daddy. She is a Miami student looking for someone to help her pay for her higher education and all the related expenses.
A self-proclaimed, cute blonde who is looking for fun in Fort Lauderdale admits to being a college student looking for some help.
And another pretty, young Miami college girl, who does not want to be identified, is more direct, asking specifically for 10 to 20-thousand dollars monthly. The 22-year old claims to be looking for someone who will never say ”NO” to her needs.
“The lesson here… ask and you shall receive,” she told Estevez.
“What have they given you?” asked Estevez.
“They have given me cars, trips, jewelry. These guys will take you out and they will court you,” she responded.
Jorge asked “What do these guys do for you?”
“They support you financially… financially,” she replied.
Support is proving to be crucial for a 20-year old sugar baby, who is in college at Florida International University.
“Have they paid your tuition?” asked Estevez.
“Yes Jorge.”
“Books?” he asked.
“Books. Everything,” she responded. “When I say everything… I mean everything.”
In fact, her profile asks for someone to “help a young’in out”. And she is not alone. Numbers compiled by the “seeking arrangement” website showed that in the past six months, FIU ranked 20th in a list of the top universities with “sugar baby” sign ups.
Florida ranked third in the U.S. behind New York and California with 67,815 total users, of all ages. There are just over 1,000,000 and growing .
Our FIU student argued that it’s a way to survive the times.
“I don’t get support from my parents. As soon as I turned 18, they told me I am on my own. I have to figure everything out on my own Jorge.”
“And you discovered this? And you thought…?” asked Estevez.
“My dreams came true Jorge.”
“Your dreams came true,” he repeated.
Then his interview added, “But with every give… there is a take.”
“They give you trips. They pay for school. They give you presents. What do you give them?” asked Estevez.
“Sex,” said the FIU “sugar baby.”
“Just like that,” asked Jorge.
“Just like that,” she said.
“And you are OK with that?” Jorge probed.
“I am OK with that,” she replied.

House GOP Looks to Slash Education Spending
House Republican leaders put out a bill Friday night that would slice and dice education funding far below current levels and far below what President Barack Obama wanted in his never-enacted fiscal year 2011 budget request. (List of cuts is here.)

House Republicans' Spending Bill for Remainder of 2011 Would Cut Pell Grant by 15 Percent
Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives have unveiled a spending bill for the remainder of the 2011 fiscal year that would slash $100-billion from the president's budget request.
The measure, which the House is expected to take up this week, would cut millions of dollars from federal support for research and student financial aid.

Obama to GOP: Don't Cut Education Spending
BOSTON -- Placing a limit on his own willingness to slice spending, President Barack Obama issued a not-too-veiled warning at Republican budget cutters Tuesday and characterized any reductions in money for education as irresponsible and harmful to the long-term health of the nation's economy.

You 'conservatives' live in a fantasy world created by the Koch brothers, Limbaugh and Faux News.
The education budget is pretty large. I don't see how anyone can claim we don't spend enough on it, because that just begs the question: how much is enough? Will we ever be spending enough?
Talk to a grade school teacher. They are always looking for the funds and sometimes spend their own money.
Educating the young is the most important thing we as adults can do. The radical right plan is generational. Cut education, create a couple of uneducated generations while at the same time reducing our economy to 3rd world status. While the only people who benefit is the 1% who can afford to educate their kids.
The plan is obvious.
No child left behind was all about selling tests and books to schools. Profits, not education.
Pinheads just can't get it thorough their neanderthal skulls that higher and higher spending for "education" does nothing but line the already mink lined pockets of
lazy administrators, bad teachers, and the upkeep of bloated football, basketball and other sports programs in the schools....
Ok you knittpicker, spending ON education.
You live in a fantasy land.
Mink lined pockets? Teachers? No wonder this country is fucked up.
A lot of people judge the health of the education system by total spending.I guess if I tried I could spend $10,000 per day on something. Much of it will obviously be wasted. Why talk of 'spend', by doing so you are missing the point.
