Nonsense. It's not an either-or problem, it's a simple choice. Do we want to spend as much as the rest of the entire world combined on a horribly bloated military chock full of welfare-working men playing soldier boy in pointless, pissing match wars or do we want the world's best educational system, free for those able to do the work from kindergarten through graduate school?

Ted, > Do you think kids should have computers; that there should be computers in every classroom? Do you think schools should have roofs that don't leak? Do you think they should not look like a prison? Do you think broken windows should be prepared? Do you think its fine when things are broken in the classroom and have not been repaired? OF COURSE all of this should be fixed. That's the point. You keep bowing to the teachers' unions and you won't have any money left to fix the real problems. Ten, teacher salaries are some of the lowest for a professional in this country, and yet there is not enough $$$ to maintain the schools and pay the teachers. And you blame the unions? Damn, your ideology runs deep.
