Time to dive, whale. The dawg took a rather large chunk out of you.

The total budget in many states has been in decline in the last 4 years. Couple that with a declining percentage in education spending and you have a double whopper.

Can you also tell me what percentage tuition has risen by? How about the percentage increase of costs of education in terms of maintaining a campus and teachers? The rising cost of health insurance which is factored into employee compensation?

When costs to maintain the status quo are increased 50% and funding increases the same amount...you've made no progress.

Access to higher education is increasingly available only to the wealthy. This is not good for a nation that will be increasingly dependent on developing cutting edge technology to maintain growth in our economy.

More baseless, unsubstantiated allegations. Back it up or go play on the freeway. I'll have nothing more to do with you. So far you have proven yourself to be a mindless bag of hot air.

You DO realize, don't you that you're unsubstantiated and provably incorrect allegation of a decline in funding over the last ten years means that started TWO YEARS after Slick WIllie became Prexy, don't you?

Or are you now going to try to weasel a decade into meaning something other than ten years?

You know, you really need to stick to those strictly lefty threads where no will challenge you. You're not up to this.
