Thanks for that post. Gee, I feel bettah about CA now.... I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for a response, at least one that withstands scrutiny. He prefers to play word games over the meaning of terms like "papers", "notes" and "documents" or whether "half" actually means 50 per cent.

My apologies Mad Dog. I was in error. Seems that expenditures are increasing. I was basing my assumptions on a letter that I receive from my university stating that federal and state funding was down, and that now more than ever the university was depending on private donations. Seems they were a bit untruthful to me. Also for the last four years the politicians in my state have been talking about budget shortfalls and cutbacks. I guess that means cutbacks from the projected increases...otherwise it doesn't make sense. Sorry for any confusion. I was not trying to mislead. When I found that chart for California revenues falling, I assumed that expenditures were following suit. That in conjunction with the falling percentage chart being spent on higher education supported what I have been told by my university and local politicians. So I did not look any further. So thank you for digging into it and getting it right. I didn't lie or mislead...I just had bad intelligence. Orca
