Do you ever check your facts before you shoot your mouth off?

No, gunny, I never do. I just do it to drive you crazier. It seems to be
working ;O)

Still a day late and a dollar short are ya? Catch up slick, actual
NEA research shows a much different:

Expenditures per Student: The U.S. average per
student expenditure for public elementary and
secondary schools in 2008–09 fall enrollment was
$10,190. States with the highest per student
expenditures: Rhode Island ($17,289), New Jersey
($16,253), New York ($15,997), Wyoming ($14,732),
and Vermont ($14,679). Utah ($5,912), Arizona
($5,932), Mississippi ($7,484), Nevada ($7,615), and
Idaho ($7,730) had the lowest per student
expenditures (H-11).

dig a bit further and see CA ranked 46th in Public Education Rating
in 2003.

Stiil the point is you seem to relish denigrating Americans with your
Neoluddite and fringe political talk. It was not more than a few days
ago you AGAIN agreed that this is a gardening group, not one of your
~300+ political messages you post monthly.

We not going backwards. Your just standing still playing the Walter
Mitty character. Drives ya nuts doesn't it. Coulda, shoulda, woulda,
but ya didn't. Go preach somewhere else.
