In a high-profile presser on the economy last Friday, President Obama’s central proposal was to hire more public employees. Then, in his weekly address, he argued that hiring more public school teachers would allow the U.S. to educate its way to prosperity. His Republican presidential rival, Governor Romney, has recommended precisely the opposite: reducing the size of government to boost private sector job growth–and he, too, mentions public school teachers. So… who’s right?

Those are stunning plain and scary numbers. What (possibly) can the counter to that be?
On a slightly different note, is the hope of the Obama campaign resting on attacking the Mormons and the rich? Are they already out of ideas? -
8 percent growth in students vs. 92 percent growth in Education employment.
No appreciable gains in student achievement vs, per pupil spending rising from $55,000 to $150,000.
This is what happens when the Left is successful at fear mongering for decades."Don't measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should accomplish with your ability."

I have no idea how the figures are running today, but I seriously doubt it has changed much.
In the late 1980's, Transportation (busing) accounted for over 45% of the entire school budget. Not teacher's salaries, but Transportation.
Just another area added in the last 50 years negating the family's responsibility for their children. In this case, they can't even be bothered or responsible for getting them to school.
Put the responsibility for our children back in the lap of the parent where it belongs and there is tons of money for education.Comment
