"How about starting with this: Prove that spending more money on education improves education. Federal aid to education started in the late '50's. The amount spent on education has increased steadily since then; the quality of the output has declined.Utah is close to the top in educational achievement and close to the bottom in spending. Pouring more money into a bureaucracy does not produce a better bureaucracy, just a bigger bureaucracy." There is a name for this phenomenon. It's called Director's Law of Bureaucratic Displacement. Basically it says that the amount of government investment in a project is inversely proportional to the amount of output from the project. That is, the more money government spends on education, the less education comes out of the schools. A good example of this law in action can be seen with the British National Health Service... <g> Also check out Director's Law of Public Income Redistribution which shows that income redistribution benefits the middle class at the expense of both the rich and poor. I like that one. ;) Derek
