Also, the per student spending has doubled in the last 30 years and that is adjusted for inflation. (in those rankings of nations we are second in one category - per pupil spending).
Money is not the answer, just a convenient screen.
I agree with Darkeforce. Those politicians should also have to spend a year in the military prior to making decisions about military funding and use. Heck, the list of what they “should” have in terms of experience is huge. Maybe we should just stop electing career politiicians.
More propaganda from the lefitist pressinistas.
