Tim says there was a 75% CA budget growth from '78 to present that sounds like a starvation diet to me. This starvation diet placed CA school spending in the recent past at 49th in the nation below every state except Mississippi. What an accomplishment Windsock, I hope the above numbers come from the legimate press and not some left wing publication...you know how they are. ;~)) ted

There is another change that Tim does not address is constant $$. If you take $0.35 in 1975 it is $1.00 today. So assuming that there was NO population growth and NO increase in needs, you would have to spend 3 times as much today to equal yesterday. Wrong. Everytime I posted a figure except once I used "real" or inflation adjusted dollars. The one time I did not I specifically said I did not but I also showed how the old figure was less then the new figure even when adjusted for inflation. Tim
